The Magi also referred to as the (Three) Wise Men or (Three) Kings were, in Christian tradition, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold,frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, they were the first religious figures to worship Jesus. It states that "they" came "from the east" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews."[2]Although the account does not mention the number of people "they" or "the Magi" refers to, the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men.[3][4] In the East, the Magi traditionally number twelve.[4] Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, "May all kings fall down before him".[4][5]
Journey of the Magi" opens with a quote about a journey, and it's a cold and difficult one. From the title of the poem, we can tell that this is the journey of the Three Kings (or magi as mentioned above)to the birthplace of Jesus. the poem elaborates on the difficulties of travel, including grumpy camels, wishing for home (home being warm and full of girls and servants), fires going out, unfriendly and expensive towns, and a distinct lack of places to sleep. The speaker notes that the Magi preferred to just travel all night for these reasons, and that through their travels, a little voice in their heads kept suggesting that maybe this whole thing was all for nothing.
Then, the narrator goes on to tell of the Magi's arrival in the temperate valley(Bethlehem) (21). They still can't find any info about where they were supposed to go from the villagers, however, so they eventually have find the place which was satisfactory i.e. they had found the stable in which they had to witness the birth of jesus.
