Were did the 3 wise men get the gifts from?
Somewhere east of Palestine I guess. These three seem to have been either wise men or kings, no one knows for sure, depends which Gospel you prefer, I guess. Let’s see, gold, Egypt perhaps. Frankincense, think this comes from Arabia – bark of a tree? Myer (not sure how you spell that) but think this comes from somewhere south of Palestine in a place once called Sheba as in the Queen of Sheba. Apparently both Frankinsense and Myrrh are from a tree resin – so we’re on the right track . . . http://science.howstuffworks.com/floweri… As for the Gold – well, Egypt seems about right, bear in mind that Mary and Joseph made a dash for Egypt soon after Jesus was born to get away from Herod – the bad guy. Okay, let’s assume these three Kings or Wisemen came from say Arabia, here’s a Christmas song sung in Arabic. . . http://uk.youtube.co
