hmm, never knew about and thanks for the info. The great thing about it is that they saw the birth of the Messiah.

Our current “messiah”, no one has ever seen where he was born.

“The great thing about it is that they saw the birth of the Messiah.”

Jesus was probably about two years old before the wise men saw Him. The family was living in a house at the time; Jesus wasn’t in a manger. He was a “child”, not a “babe”. There may have been more than three magi, or even two; we assume three because three separate gifts were mentioned.
