The wise men travelled to
Bethlehem following a star foretold in a prophecy. They believed that a new
King was to be born and they wished to offer gifts.
Gold is still valued, and
people often still give money for a new baby’s ‘piggy bank’ - but if you were
there... what would you take?
Given that Frankincense and Myrrh aren't easily available at Morrisons, today's gifts are usually a Teddy Bear or a cuddly rabbit. I wonder how that tradition came about?
