The origin of the tradition of the Magi
Three Kings Day is a magical and special day in which gifts. But we don’t want to forget the origin of this tradition, because sometimes the meaning is lost between shopping centers and competitions for the most expensive gift.
- The night of January 5 is when the whole mechanism of happiness and illusion starts, although you must first writes that they get the gifts right. Don’t put too many expectations in that letter because these three wizards from the east have too much work for a single day and stress can wreak havoc in the form of misunderstandings, forgetfulness or confusion.
- But that night, January 5, they arrive in their magnificent cavalcade mounted on their camels, with all their retinue worthy of kings; or some magicians. Melcher, Gaspar and Balthazar arrive loaded with gifts for everyone because a night like this but from a long time ago they reached the portal of Bethlehem following a star to present themselves before the newborn Jesus with gold, incense and myrrh. That time the entourage was more discreet and the gifts were fewer than today, but we already know that beginnings are always complicated.
- And since then they repeat, for more than 2,000 years, the Three Wise Men have not missed their appointment with all the houses of the world for a single year. Well, not everyone, because of this magical tradition is.
- But, who were the Magi? His true story
- It seems that the Magi have been around forever, or at least since Jesus was born. But it turns out that the only possible mention that can be related to them appears in the Gospel of Saint Matthew, which speaks of some magicians (not kings) who come from the east to adore the king of the Jews who has just been born. Herod did not like this at all, because he did not want anyone, least of all a newborn, to take away his title of king, but that is another much less festive story than the one at hand.
- These three magi would not appear again until the 6th century in a mosaic in the Basilica of Saint Apollinaire the New in Ravenna. Here their names are even mentioned, Melcher, Gaspar and Balthazar and an almost unknown legend is created. It seems that a healing remedy for some patients was to pronounce the name of the three magicians in their ears.
- But the current tradition that children (and not so children) like so much arises in the Middle Ages. In Spain, the oldest document where they are mentioned is precisely in the Auto de los Reyes Magus, a 12th century manuscript where they do not appear as kings or magicians, but as astrologers. And then we would have to wait until the Renaissance and its fabulous pictorial works so that the whole culture could be created around these three characters, their clothing, their gifts, the star that guided them and their own appearance.
- From then on, Three Kings Day has gained more or less importance depending on the country, but it is in Spain where this festivity is given the most importance and where the before and after ritual is scrupulously followed, the letter to the Three Wise Men, the parade, the food that is left in the window and the subsequent Reyes for breakfast on the 6th while all the gifts are unwrapped.

The mystery of the gifts of the Magi
- Everyone knows that the Magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn at the portal of Bethlehem as gifts. There is no agreement on who brought what but in reality it does not matter because they went together and could be gifts in common. Nor do we believe that Jesus, who had just been born, found these gifts very useful, but it seems that what mattered here was their symbolism of him.
- Gold symbolized the kingly aspect of Jesus. Gold is what kings and the powerful have, it is something valuable, and as valuable as the person to whom it is offered. For its part, the incense alludes to the divine part of Jesus, because we are talking about the King of the Jews, but also about the son of God. In fact, in many cultures, incense is used as an aid to communicate with the divine or to develop the most spiritual aspect of one.
- And myrrh… but what is myrrh? They say that myrrh, the third gift, symbolized the human aspect of Jesus, the carnal side. But this still doesn’t make it clear to us what exactly myrrh is. Because we have spent our lives saying that the Magi brought gold, incense and myrrh and the truth is that most of us don’t even know what it is.
- Saint Google arrives today together with the Magi to bring us the gift of wisdom and tells us that myrrh is a resin extracted from the bark of a tree, which has a yellow or reddish color and that in ancient times it was used to make cosmetics, ointments and various medicines, which worked as an anesthetic for the terminally ill and was even used to embalm the dead.
- Here the matter begins to get tragic and nothing is further from our intention that we are trying to. But asking the Magi for explanations about the reason for giving myrrh to a newborn, they tell us that it was to symbolize that Jesus, in addition to being king and God, also had his human part and as such would suffer some suffering that could be alleviated with myrrh.
Instructions to receive the Magi
- Now that we are a little clearer about whom the Three Wise Men were and what gifts they brought from the East, we can empathize with them a little more and contribute our bit so that this year Three Kings Day is more special than ever. Are you already visualizing the you are going to eat that day? Well wait, before you have to do some more errands.
- To spend a fabulous Three Kings Day, full of joy and with no room for disappointment, you must follow a series of instructions. Melcher, Gaspar and Balthazar, who are magicians as well as kings, know everything and have their own whims and needs. So let’s review the list of what we need to celebrate Three Kings Day in style:
- +You have to be constant throughout the year and have not behaved so badly that they only bring us coal. Behaving well or badly is relative, but there is one thing that the Three Wise Men always take into account and that is that the number of mistakes you have made this year does not exceed the amount of learning you have accumulated. How is your balance in this regard?
- +At the beginning of December, if procrastination does not overcome you, you have to write the letter from the Three Wise Men so that they know what you expect from that day. Do not hesitate to ask, there will be time to reduce the list of gifts. If at the beginning of your letter you make it very clear that you are most interested in bringing your health, love, self-esteem, illusion and hope, you have a better chance of them reading the letter completely and reaching those material whims that you have requested.
- +On January 5 in the afternoon you have to go to the parade of the Three Kings, clap and smile and avoid the jostling of the people. You can collect candies, but you have to know that if you give them to the children, the Kings will look at you with better eyes and will bring you more gifts.
- +On Twelfth Night you have to go to bed early because they don’t like to be surprised while they place the gifts. But before you go to bed, remember that it is a very hard night for the Three Kings and they need energy. Traditionally, milk left in sufficient quantities for them and their camels, but we know that they also appreciate chocolates, a varietysome liquor. Be careful with the liquor; don’t put a lot of it in case they get confused with the gifts.
- +And all that remains is to sleep and let the Three Kings do their work so that the next morning they wake up with all the excitement in the world. On Three Kings Day there are no bad faces in the morning, nor “do the warnings talk to me until I drink my coffee”. That morning you have to get up smiling and run to get the gifts and if you have children at home let them be the first to open them, please.
- If you follow these instructions, the Three Wise Men will be kind to you and will overlook any slip you have made during the year. Think of yourself, think of your loved ones and treat yourself to an unforgettable Three Kings Day.
