Monsignor Pope Ping!
Zoroastrians or Parsi. They are a religion who was forced out of Persia into what is now India and Pakistan. They tend to be ethnically Persian but they have a very old multi god religion. Traditionally they are very bright. And some have compared them to Jews in Europe. In that they are often rich, smart and powerful. But they are outside the common culture.
Would have been so much easier had the scriptures explained things in the needed detail instead of all this interpretation stuff.

That is a beautiful rendition of We Three Kings.
It is thought that the magi came from the region of Yemen. Even today frankincense is readily available on the sidewalks of the city of Sana’a. And so is myrrh.
“The truest identity of the Magi is you.”
No. That line conflates two truths as if they are the same truth; they’re not. While the Magi can be said to be gentiles, and you may be a gentile, that does not make you a Magi or the same as the Magi.
The Magi were of a generation where NOTHING of Yeshua’s mission and message had yet been delivered, or even known, at all. Current generations, and all generations following Christ’s mission have the message of that mission before them. Some gentiles may be “called” to Christ today, within the sea of Christ-awareness that exists today. The calling of the Magi reflects a much deeper action of the Holy Spirit, acting in a total void of human knowledge of what was to come. It was a calling of a different order. We are not the Magi. We have every advantage of the knowledge of Christ before us, yet we are harder to respond to the calling of the Holy Spirit than the Magi who had zero, except G-d.
The Magi were forerunners, which we are not.
