Traditionally, the visit of the Wise Men, or the Magi, is celebrated at the Feast of the Epiphany on 6th January, 12 days after Christmas Day. However, scholars of the scriptures generally agree that the visit would have occurred sometime after the presentation of Jesus at the Temple, around 40 days after his birth, after which the family returned home to Nazareth (Luke 2 v39). The Bible account says that the Wise Men visited Jesus at a house (Matthew 2 v10), where they worshipped him and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. There were possibly as many as twelve Wise Men; the depiction of three of them in popular carols and art comes from the fact that there were three types of gift. This varied selection of Nativities feature the Wise Men, three of them, present at Jesus’ birth, as cultural tradition has it!
