Visual depictions of the Christmas story often depict the image of the three wise men bearing gifts and traveling from afar with their camels. It stirs something in people to consider outsiders to Judaism traveling months by the direction of a star to meet a new king. These men made extensive preparations and made an arduous journey to present lavish gifts before Jesus in an act of worship. This bundle will equip you to tell the story of the birth of Jesus through the journey of the wise men.
