Matthew 2:11 After coming into the place where the Christ child lay, they fell on their knees and worshipped Him with their gifts. December 1st's advent was the three wise men. I chose 3 different coloured recess pieces to "represent" these men and their precious gifts- gold, frankincense and myrrh. The wise men travelled far and brought their best treasured gifts. Gold: a precious metal and associated with the power of kings. Frankincense: a resin from a rare and sacred tree and used as incense. Myrrh: a resin from a shrub and used in making perfume.
My kids guessed pretty quickly.
And we enjoyed an interesting discussion about these men, their gifts and the significance of them.
My kids were so excited that advent had finally begun!
