When the Wisemen brought presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the young Christ child, they were doing more than just bringing very rare, valuable gifts.
Myrrh was used for embalming the dead and in holy ointment. Frankincense was an ingredient used to make holy incense for sacrifices at the temple. And Gold has long been a symbol for kings and rulers. When the magi brought these precious gifts, they were testifying that the child was their Prophet, Priest, and King. They were testifying that He is the Savior of Mankind.
