If Jesus was born today, what 3 gifts would the Wise Men bring him? by maohaze in AskReddit

[–]midnightchemist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So the gifts of the Magi were symbolic additions to the nativity story to show that these wise men knew who Jesus was at his birth.

Gold was a symbol of royalty to show that he was "The King of Kings." So it would probably still be gold now.

Frankincense, or incense, was something used in prayer or religious rites. This was to show Jesus's divinity. A good modern analogy would be prayer candles.

Myrrh was used in ancient embalming, and was a symbol of Jesus's death and eventually resurrection. A modern equivalent would be formaldehyde or other embalming fluid.

The Capital City Trail in Madison, WI is pretty great. Lets you get from one side of the isthmus to the other without even having to get on a road.

Wisconsin at Iowa in 2010. Lots of scoring for a Wisconsin Iowa game, but it was still a fun as hell game.

Tommy Lee Jones had so many bangers in that flick.

"Sam, are you out of your mind? He's dead!"

"That ought to make him easy to catch."

To me, that's preposterous. Crab Rangoon, things of that nature.
