Colorized photo from 1920 Original title: Bethlehem and surroundings Location: Outside of Bethlehem, Israel The Magi, often known as the Three Kings, were foreigners that were said to have visited Jesus. Some say they visited him at his birth, others argue it was later on in life. No one knew where the child was born, yet the three kings were ordered by King Herod to find the Christ child and bestow upon him expensive gifts. As the story goes, they travelled far and saw a sign in the sky, a comet or perhaps a star and the followed it. Finding a small town town below it, they found him there.
