Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Giving and Receiving: Essays and Fantasies According to many of the Old Masters the earliest Christmas presents were given nearly two thousand years ago and were received probably with the utmost embarrassment. They consisted principally of gold and frankincense and myrrh, and were laid at the feet of a tiny Baby lying in a manger in a stable in Judæa, the givers being three Wise Men - some say even kings - from the East: Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar. It is principally from pictures of the visit of the Three Kings that we derive our ideas of the incident; and it would now be a very arduous task to correct those ideas. But as a matter of Biblical history, the Child had long been born when the Wise Men arrived, and He was then not in the manger, but in the house. See St. Matthew´s narrative, chapter ii, verse 11. St. Luke, in his story, makes the new-born Infant´s first visitors neither Kings nor Wise Men from the East but shepherds.
