“The story of the Magi is celebrated each Christmas. Three Wise Men, or Kings from the East, followed a radiant star that guided them to Bethlehem, where they laid rare, precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, before the baby Jesus. Many believe that these precious gifts brought to the Christ Child by the Three Wise Men, may be the origin of the custom of gift giving at Christmas, which has become universal.” The image of this story is uniquely portrayed on this stunning Painted Pony.
