astoryThe story of the three wise men, was there or is just a legend?, Were they kings or just travelers?, Is the meaning of the incense, gold and myrrh?, Is the appearance of the star?, what about the date of birth of Jesus?, are some of the questions that will be addressed at the conference of the Magi, which will take place on January 16 at the Museo Casa de la Bola.

In an interview, the director of the Museum of the Holy Scriptures, Cristian Gomez, said that during the discussion will address the issue from the point of Catholicism and later apocryphal arguments to enter the realm of legend.

He indicated that he will take as its starting point the Gospel of Matthew, where it is said that there was a trip of some characters at the time. However, he made ​​it clear that there is speculation about what might have been these characters and what is now known as the Magi.

He said he will discuss what bring the apocryphal gospels and the canonical, the two streams and the stories that bring about magicians, and Persian influence which makes most of the legends.

"The Bible speaks of wise men, but says that they are three or kings, in many features detailed and confirmed as belonging to a Persian-like imagination to be syncretizing with Christianity gradually," said .

He said that will reflect on the origin of these characters and their evolution, and what bearing gifts symbolized, since in the Gospel of Matthew mentions that the incense, gold and myrrh have a very important symbolic meaning, like the appearance of the star.

The philosopher said that currently there is much speculation about whether it was a planetary conjunction, whether it was a comet and even said that some people talk about a UFO, and spiritual symbolism from a theological semiotics of what could be the star.

He added that other issues will be touched, as the dates of the birth of Jesus.

Also the tradition of placing in births to the Magi the same night that Jesus was born and the position that the wise men came several months, even a year after they sought a king in Jerusalem.
