Sometime after the birth of Jesus, in the city of Jerusalem, some wisemen arrived from the East, inquiring about the location of the newborn Messiah.
When King Herod heard about these wisemen, he asked the chief priests and scribes where this anointed one was to be born. They informed the King that the prophet had written that he was to come from Bethlehem. The King sent for the wisemen in secret to find out when they had seen this star. He told the wisemen to go to Bethlehem and find this child, and to report back to him that he might come and also worship the child. When they went to search for the child, the star they had seen in the East appeared, and led them to a house where it settled above. Inside they found Mary with Jesus, and they gave gifts and worshipped the child. The wisemen were blessed because of their search, and faith.
