Descrizione
Everyone believes they know the tale of the Three Wise Men. The same image appears in nativity scenes, plays, and movies every Christmas. Three men kneeling before infant Jesus at the manger; they were dressed in opulent clothes, bearing pricey presents, and following a dazzling star. It has grown to be a yearly Christmas ritual, an inviolable aspect of the tale. But what if I told you that this is all incorrect? What if I told you that night those Wise Men weren't even there? that for generations, we have been basing our holiday celebrations on a myth that has been told without question? It's time to correct the record, then. It's time to dispel the myths and discover the truth about what actually transpired that evening over 2,000 years ago.
Don't get me wrong, though. The Wise Men did not exist in someone's head. They were real. There are, however, a few, let's say, "holes" in the story you've been told about the three men who showed up at the birth of Jesus dressed like some sort of ancient VIPs, gifts in hand. To begin with, how did we come to believe there were three of them? I'm not kidding; consult the Bible. We think it's three because of the gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—even though Matthew, the only Gospel to mention them, doesn't explicitly state "three." It could have been two men, though. or ten. We're not sure. What is certain is that customs and presumptions, rather than objective truths, have shaped and changed their look throughout generations.
And the well-known celebrity they were meant to follow? As if it were a GPS, we use it to guide them directly to the stable where Jesus was born. However, a closer examination of the text reveals that it's not that easy. Although they saw the star *when* Jesus was born, they weren't immediately transported there by magic. They undoubtedly came from Babylon or Persia, and they didn't make a brief overnight trip. The truth is that Jesus was no longer a baby in a manger when they arrived. Like any child, he was presumably a toddler, wandering around, making noise, and getting into things.
However, we don't like to consider it, do we? Our ideal Christmas tale is neat and orderly. Three exotic men arrived on time to pay their respects, having traveled from afar. It's like a little bow that pulls the whole thing together. The angels singing, the shepherds attending the birth, and, oh, look! The Wise Men appear just in time, bearing presents. But the truth? It's not quite as tidy as that.
Why then did we make every mistake? From where did the myth originate? To be honest, the concept of three royal-like beings appearing to commemorate the King of Kings caught people's attention because they enjoy a good story. That simply makes money. Storytellers and artists took it upon themselves over time. Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar were given names, crowns placed on their heads, and they became kings. Before you knew it, they had become more than just Wise Men; they had joined the royal procession leading up to the birth of the Messiah.
Now consider that for a moment. Three monarchs arriving to pay tribute to a newborn born in a barn? That is truly legendary stuff. It sounds like a story from a fairy tale, not an account of historical events. These individuals did not come for the dramatic scene that has been given to us for generations, nor did they come to be kings. They were academicians or astronomers, individuals with sufficient knowledge to discern unusual occurrences in the sky. They went to Herod first for this reason. They weren't running in like they had first-hand passes to history; instead, they were attempting to ascertain what was happening.
