Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
Gold ... well we know what that is, but the others? Both Frankincense and Myrrh are prized for their alluring fragrances and are derived from tree sap. Magi, or wise men, followed a bright star in the east to Bethlehem where Jesus had been born:
"And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh"
"And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh"
