Wise Men Costumes for Men

The wise men are also known as the Magi, distinguished foreigners (perhaps kings) from the East. The fact that three gifts are mentioned in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 2 — gold, frankincense, myrrh — suggest that there were three wise men. They followed the Star to the stable, where they fell down and worshipped the Baby Jesus and offered their gifts to him.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Props

You’ll need gold, frankincense and myrrh props for the three wise men to carry. You’ll find them on this page.

What are frankincense and myrrh, anyway? You’ll find out on that page as well!

“Thereupon Herod sent privately for the Magi and ascertained from them the exact time of the star’s appearing. He then directed them to go to Bethlehem, adding, ‘Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and do him homage.’

“After hearing what the king said, they went to Bethlehem, while, strange to say, the star they had seen in the east led them on until it came and stood over the place where the babe was.

“When they saw the star, the sight filled them with intense joy.

“So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him — gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

“But being forbidden by God in a dream to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different route.”
