    In today’s Gospel the arrival of the Magi is noted. This Gospel is full of symbolism about who Jesus would be. Some biblical traditions list the Magi as kings and some traditions have even named them, Caspar (or Gaspar), Melchior, and Balthazar. Likely, this naming is primarily derived from Western Christian tradition. Its highly unlikely that three kings would have gone into the desert alone without an entourage for protection. Likely if three kings showed up in a small town everyone would soon know and King Herod would not have had to rely on the Magi to find out exactly where Jesus was. The gifts brought by the Wise Men give us a hint and foretell the ministry of Jesus. Gold representing royalty, frankincense symbolizing divinity, and myrrh foreshadowing suffering and death.
