Summary: A fascinating collection of art and lore about the Magi.
Comment: The perfect accompaniment to celebrations of Epiphany! This exquisite little book, illustrated with masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Medieval and Renaissance collections, tells the history and lore of the Magi and the precious gifts they brought to the infant Jesus. The beautiful samples of real gold, frankincense, and myrrh are treasures your children might add to the family creche with appropriate ceremony.
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent, short story, packed with factual information.
Comment: I would highly recommend this book for anyone familiar with the story of the "three wise men" and the birth of Jesus. Although it is very short, it is packed full of facts, using the Bible and other history information for support. The book also touches on some of the myths and legends behind the story and gives their resources as well. What I believe to be the main theme of the book, and, quite possibly, the most important, is at the end of the book when the author tells us exactly what the three gifts represent. In a nutshell, Gold is for Kings, Frankincense is for a God, and Myrrh is for man. Thus, the Holy Trinity!
