📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, the Magi, who were wise men from the East, followed a special star they believed announced the birth of the King of the Jews, as part of ancient practices of observing celestial signs. After arriving in Jerusalem and consulting King Herod, they continued their journey to Bethlehem, where the star led them to the exact location of the infant Jesus. This event underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's arrival.
