Hi, guys —
- What was the significance of the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the Magi?
- What did each gift represent?

Pat,
- The gold represents his kingship.
- The frankincense, used in the temple for worship, represented his priesthood or some say, his deity, since incense was often offered to gods.
- The myrrh, used in burial and for alleviating suffering of the dying, foretold his suffering and death.
For more information, do a Google search on 'gold frankincense myrrh meaning Catholic'.
