The Adoration of the Magi who came from the East to worship the newborn Christ.
On the day of the Nativity the Church also remembers the Magi from the East who, led by the star, came to Bethlehem and offered the newborn King gold, frankincense and myrrh. Warned in a dream, they returned to their own country by another way.
