Why so much of our wisdom about the 3 Wise Men of the Christmas story is actually incorrect
Fox News
Many of us are familiar with the Christmas song, 'We Three Kings of Orient Are.' But how much do we really know about the mysterious Magi from the Christmas story?
Raymond Arroyo is a broadcaster and New York Times Bestselling author, most recently of "The Wise Men Who Found Christmas (Sophia)" and a Fox News and Fox Nation Co-Host and contributor.
Despite the famous song, "We Three Kings of Orient Are," there were very likely more than three of them (the Gospel mentions three gifts, not three men), they were not kings, and they did not hail from the Far East.
Historical, biblical and archeological evidence paints a very different picture of the Gospel’s "Wise Men from the East." Using these neglected early sources I created a picture book adventure titled, "The Wise Men Who Found Christmas." But in the course of a narrative, I could only hint at what I discovered.
