How much do you know about Christmas? A quiz
The three kings, also known as The Magi or the Wise Men, came from the East to pay homage to Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, they found Jesus by following a star. The three Magi didn't become identified as kings until later Christian texts. The Encyclopædia Britannica suggests that the term arose from the description of them kneeling to the babe, and the reference in Psalms 72:11: "May all kings fall down before him."
