6.1.12

Adoration of Christ by the Magi


According to the Gospel of St. Matthew (3:1-12) several personalities from the East came to visit and to give presents to Christ shortly after his birth. They were designated as “Magi” because they were thought to have come from Persia.

De acordo com o Evangelho de São Mateus (III, 1-12) diversas personagens vindas do Oriente teriam visitado e presenteado Cristo pouco depois do seu nascimento. São designados como Reis Magos por se pensar que seriam Persas.
