Fun Fact) The Nativity depicts three wise men, known as the Magi, came to Jesus Christ's birth to give Him gifts. In all reality this scene is incorrect for many reasons. To start off, there was not three wise men; nobody know how many wise men were there, there was at least two since the Bible referred to a group; in tradition, three wise men are depicted due to there being three gifts. The Nativity also depicts the Magi travelling great distances alone, on foot, or camel-back, to see baby Jesus. In all reality, these men were highly intelligent, wealthy, and very important men to their country; they would of been sent by military escort of 100's, have luxurious tents, and all the good stuff. They weren't even going to see baby Jesus originally, although they knew about it. They first went to report to King Herod (when this happen, it was already pass a year of Jesus Christ's birth), but after they went to see baby Jesus and worship Him. They did give the three gifts that is still part of the Nativity, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
