The Three Wise Men, Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, are iconic figures in the Christmas tradition. According to the story, these wise men from the East followed a star to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn Jesus, bringing valuable gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The story of the Wise Men symbolizes the search for truth and humility, as well as the union of different cultures and people under a common message of peace and hope. In many cultures, Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, is a special day when children receive gifts in commemoration of these three figures.
