The story of the three wise men and their gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh is told in Matthew 2:11, "... and when they were to come into the house and they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh." The gifts of the Magi represented the most valued items of the ancient world for the birth of Christ.
The first gift, brought by Melchior of Persia, is Gold. Valued as currency, it was also the gift given to kings. It is the easiest to identify of the three gifts. Its radiance and beauty were also used in jewelry and other sacred objects.
The second gift of Frankincense, brought by Gaspar of Arabia, is an aromatic gum resin from the Middle East and Africa. It was used in medicines, perfumes and incense, and as an anointing oil with which the priests were consecrated.
The third gift of Myrrh, brought by Balthasar of Ethiopia, is a dark reddish brown resin from a small spiny tree found in the Northeast Africa and Southern Arabia. Myrrh is mentioned several times in the bible for its medicinal uses, and it was the oil that anointed Jesus' body before his burial and offered to him on the cross in wine to relieve his pain.
The three gifts spiritual meaning: The gold, as mentioned before, suggested His royalty as King of the Jews and Lord of lords. In the frankincense, they saw His divinity. The myrrh represented His humanity - and because myrrh suggests death and burial. Thus, the gifts came to show Jesus as King, God, and Man.
