The Bible story of the Three Wise Men, from the gospel of Matthew, is also known as the biblical Magi or the Three Kings. This Bible story regards a group of scholarly foreigners who traveled to visit Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, during the time of King Herod, Wise Men from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, 'Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.' When King Herod learned this, he was troubled, and all of Jerusalem with him. He called together all the leading clerics and scholars of the law, and he questioned them about where Christ was to be born. 'In Bethlehem in Judea,' they answered, 'for this is what the prophet has written: "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" Then Herod summoned the Wise Men secretly and found out from them the precise time the star had emerged. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, 'Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me so that I too may go and worship him.'
Gaspar (or Caspar) wears a green cloak and a gold crown with green jewels. He is the King of Sheba. Gaspar represents the Frankincense brought to Jesus.
Melchior has long white hair and a white beard and wears a gold cloak. He is the King of Arabia. Melchior represents the Gold brought to Jesus.
Balthazar has a black beard and wears a purple cloak. He is the King of Tarse and Egypt. Balthazar represents the gift of Myrrh that was brought to Jesus.
Meaning of the Gifts for Jesus
When the Wise Men discovered Jesus and Mary, they would have been residing in a modest house in Bethlehem because, by this time, Jesus would have been aged between one and two. Their gifts seem somewhat unusual to give to a baby. However, Christians consider that they had the following purposes and meanings:
Gold: is d with Kings, and Christians believe that Jesus is the King of Kings.
Frankincense: is used in liturgical worship in traditional Churches and represented that people would worship and praise Jesus.
Myrrh: is a fragrance that is embedded on dead bodies to make them smell pleasant and represents that Jesus would endure persecution resulting in his death.

I am Smith Olaoluwa, a renowned international artist with a deep ion for creating vibrant and thought-provoking works. Born and raised in Lagos State, Nigeria, my journey into the world of art was shaped by the rich cultural heritage of West Africa and the formal education I received at the University of Benin, Edo State. There, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine and Applied Arts,training under some of the foremost artists in the country.
As an experimental artist and art educator, I am constantly exploring different media to push the boundaries of my creativity. My art reflects my constant desire to innovate, blending traditional and contemporary techniques to capture life's most dynamic moments.
Throughout my career, I have participated in a variety of exhibitions, from online showcases to solo exhibitions, which have allowed my work to reach a global audience. Each of my pieces is a testament to my exploration of color, texture, and form, as I believe that every brushstroke tells a story and every color evokes an emotion.
My creative process is deeply influenced by my belief that art is not just about representation, but about evoking feeling and meaning. I work to present objects, creatures, and scenarios in their true, alluring vividness, capturing their essence and infusing them with life on canvas.
My art is an invitation to see the world through a different lens - a lens where colors are not just shades, but emotions and stories waiting to be told. I am constantly fascinated by the idea of transformation, and I strive to bring that sense of change and movement into my work, making it something that speaks to the viewer on a deep and personal level.
When I am not immersed in my art, I am constantly seeking inspiration from my surroundings, the people I meet, and the world at large. I believe that creativity is a part of everyday life, and I draw from all my experiences to inform my work.
I am confident that my artworks will captivate and inspire those who experience them, leaving a lasting impression through their vivid portrayal of life's most compelling narratives.
