    Now you mustn't 

    run away with the idea 

    that just 
    because Mary and Joseph 

    were poor 

    and Jesus 
    was poor 

    all 
    his friends were poor 
    too 

    because 
    that's not how it was 
    at all. 

    Jesus 
    did 
    say it was 
    very very 
    difficult 

    to 
    be really good 
    and really 
    rich 

    both 
    at the same time. 

    He 
    didn't say it was impossible 

    but it 
    was difficult enough 


    that he didn't really 
    see 

    how it could be 
    done. 

    But then not all 
    of Jesus' friends 

    were good. 

    He didn't have to 
    worry about who his 

    friends were 

    because 
    he carried enough 

    goodness 

    and love inside 
    himself 

    for the whole 
    lot of them. 

    And certainly 
    his friends were a 
    mixed bag, 


    rich and 
    poor, good 
    and bad, all 

    sorts together. 

    In fact 
    he had some really funny 
    friends, 

    did Jesus. 

    The thing that was the 
    same about all of them 


    was that they couldn't 

    help loving him. 

    They could 
    see there was something about 

    Jesus 

    that was 
    better than anything 

    else life 
    had to offer 

    and that 
    something was 

    the way he loved 
    them I think. 

    Anyway, 
    right 
    at the beginning of his 
    life 

    when 
    he was just a 
    toddler 

    Jesus 
    found out he 
    had some very 

    rich friends indeed. 

    Now I want you 

    to imagine this if you 
    can. 

    Far away 
    from where Jesus 
    was born, 

    a 
    long time before 
    Jesus was born, 


    in the land of 
    perfume and spices, 


    the mysterious Orient, 

    There 
    lived some wise 
    men, 

    and 
    their wisdom came 

    from learning about 
    the stars. 

    They 
    knew the names of all 
    the stars 

    that 
    were known to humankind, 

    and 
    they knew about the 
    slow dancing 

    of 
    the stars in the 
    sky. 

    They even knew what 
    the movements of the stars 
    meant, 


    as if it was a 
    kind of language. 


    These were wonderful 
    men, 

    wise 
    and watchful, 

    with 
    thin dark faces 
    and long 

    black beards. 

    They had the darkest 
    brown eyes, 


    and beautiful 
    hands with long 

    fingers. 

    They didn't 
    go to discos or 
    parties, 

    because 
    they were too busy thinking. 

    They 
    didn't spend their evenings 


    like the shepherds did, 

    talking 
    and laughing round 
    the fire, 


    playing musical 
    instruments and telling 

    stories. 

    Not them. 

    They 
    would spend their evenings 


    in high towers, 

    as 
    close to the sky as 
    they could be, 


    gazing on the mystery 
    of the night, 


    and gathering the secrets 
    of the stars 

    as they 
    traced their shining 
    dance. 

    They were 
    quiet, 
    solemn, 
    serious men. 

    They 
    didn't smile very 
    much, 

    but 
    when they did, 

    their white teeth 
    would flash 
    in their dark faces 

    like moonlight 
    sparkling 
    on water, 

    and their 
    eyes would dance 

    and twinkle like 
    stars. 

    Nobody knows 
    their names 
    for sure, 


    because it was all 
    so long 
    ago and far 
    away, day, 


    but it is said 
    their names were 

    Caspar 

    and Melchior 
    and Balthazar. 


    They were fabulously 
    rich, 

    and they wore long 
    robes and 
    cloaks 

    in 
    deep rich colours 
    of purple and 

    ochre 
    and crimson. 

    Their hats 
    were embroidered 


    with threads of pure 
    gold, 

    and here and there, 

    as they climbed 
    the stairs 

    to the 
    top of their starry 
    tower, 

    you 
    might catch a gleam 
    of a ruby, 


    or a sapphire, 
    fire, or 
    an emerald, 

    like flashes 
    of secret fire 

    scattered 
    in their robes. 

    And as they watched 
    the stars, 

    Balthasar 
    and Caspar 
    and Melchior 

    discovered 
    a marvellous thing. 

    Something 
    they 
    had been searching for 
    for a long, 

    long time. 

    One 
    day, over 
    the horizon 
    of the dark night 
    sky, 


    there arose a new 
    and beautiful 
    star. star. 

    The 
    wise men knew all 
    the stars by 

    sight and by name, 

    and 
    it was none of the stars 

    they knew. 

    It was a royal 
    star, 
    of resplendent 
    beauty, 


    and it meant the king 

    of the whole world 

    had been born. 

    So, 
    terribly 
    excited in their 
    quiet, 

    dignified, 
    serious sort of 
    a way, 

    Melchior, 
    and Balthasar, 

    and 
    Caspar, 

    got ready for a 
    journey. 

    They wanted to 
    find the one who'd 
    been born king 
    of the whole 
    world, 


    so that they could 
    bow down before 
    him 

    and 
    let him know 
    they would serve 
    him, 

    even 
    in the land 
    of spices 
    far away. 

    They went 
    to the shops of 

    the merchants. 

    Not like 
    shops we have 

    with counters 
    and 
    tills 

    and things 
    hanging up 
    everywhere, 

    and lots of 
    bright lights. 

    No, 
    their shops 
    were in dark 

    alleys 

    of houses built 
    close together, 

    with only 
    a small dusty 
    sign 

    hanging 
    on the outside 
    saying 
    things like 

    Zoroaster's 
    Gold Refinery 

    and 
    Perfumes 
    of Araby 

    and 
    The Orient 
    Express, 

    and when you got 
    inside the 
    shops, 


    they were just 
    dim little 
    rooms 

    where 
    a merchant 
    or a craftsman 

    kept 
    his wares. 

    Not 
    an easy place 
    to go shopping 


    if you're on holiday, 

    but the wise 
    men knew 
    just where 
    to go 

    and 
    just 
    what they wanted 
    to buy 

    as presents 
    for the 
    new -born king. 

    I 
    think you 
    know what they brought 
    him, 


    don't you? 
    They 
    bought him a piece 
    of pure gold, 


    because gold 
    in their land 

    was a sign 
    of being a 
    king. 

    They bought him 
    frankincense, 


    which is stuff that 
    you burn, 

    and when you 
    burn it 

    it makes the 
    most beautiful 
    perfume. 

    In 
    the eastern land 
    where the wise men 
    lived, 


    frankincense was burnt as 
    a prayer, 


    burnt as an offering to 

    God. 

    And they bought him 
    Myrrh. 

    Myrrh has a 
    wonderful perfume too, 

    but myrrh 
    is not used for 

    prayer. 

    Myrrh, in the land 
    of the wise men, 


    was put on the 
    body of someone who had 
    died, 

    and 
    it was a sign of death. 

    What strange 
    presents to 
    take! 


    Gold, because they knew 

    Jesus was a king. 

    Frankincense, because they 

    knew 

    that when they had 
    found their way to Jesus, 


    they would have found 

    their way to God. 

    Myrrh, 
    because they knew 

    Jesus was 
    born to suffer and 
    die. 

    And 
    they 
    put on their beautiful 
    cloaks, 


    and they packed 

    their presents carefully 

    in boxes of 
    carved sandalwood, 


    and they set off by 
    night, 

    following 
    the bright shining 

    of a star. 

    And one of 
    them rode a horse, 


    and one of them rode 
    an elephant, 


    and one of them rode 
    a camel. 

    It 
    was a long, 
    long journey. 

    But because 
    they were quiet, 
    and serious, 

    and dignified, 

    they knew how 
    to be patient, 


    and none of them ever 
    asked, 

    Are 
    we nearly there 
    yet?" 

    They 
    just carried on 
    and on, 

    for weeks 
    and months, 

    through deserts 
    and jungles, 

    along narrow 
    passes, 

    over high 
    mountains covered 
    with snow, 


    through 
    towns and villages 

    and along country 
    roads, 

    until at last 
    they 
    came to the 

    place 
    where Jesus was. 

    And they knew when 
    it was the right place, 


    because their star 
    stopped right 

    there. 

    So they did too. 
    Journeys 
    end. 

    And then, 

    just 
    as humble as the shepherds 

    in all their 
    poverty, 

    they too knocked 
    politely at the door 


    and waited to be 
    asked in, 


    and they wiped their 
    feet carefully, 

    and came 
    up to little Jesus, 

    and they kneeled 
    right down 

    on the ground, 

    bending low 
    so that their 
    fore
    heads 

    even touched the 
    floor, 

    and they 
    offered him their gifts 
    of gold, 


    and frankincense, 
    and 
    myrrh, 

    and then they went back 
    home. 

    You 
    see 
    what I mean about Jesus 


    having some funny 
    friends? 

    If you 
    think about it, 

    it seems odd, 

    doesn't it, to 
    go all that 
    long way 

    just 
    to give someone a 

    present? 

    Why not just put 
    it in the post? 

    Well I 
    think it was because 
    they wanted, 

    even once, 

    to be in the same 
    place, 

    in the same 
    room with Jesus. 


    Because the wonderful 

    thing about 
    Jesus 

    was the 
    way he loved you, 

    and it was 
    worth crossing 

    mountains and the 
    desert, 

    to 
    be in the presence of 

    his loving and his 
    peace. 

    So that 
    was an interesting thing, 

    really, 

    that they, the 
    wise men, 


    who were so very clever, 

    and so fabulously 
    rich, 

    thought more of the 
    gift Jesus gave 
    them, 


    of kindness and 
    love, 

    which any one 
    can afford to give, 

    than of all 
    the perfumes and 

    gold of Arabia, 

    which they 
    laid in homage at his feet. 


    I hope he was 
    pleased with his presence, 


    even if 
    they seem a 
    bit strange 
    to you 
    and me.
