Extra Information “Gold, Myrrh, Frankincense…”-Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are three gifts that have been symbolic of spiritual meaning for centuries. These three things were given to baby Jesus by the three wise men when he was born. They were symbols of his greatness, power and divinity. Since gold, frankincense and myrrh were highly prized by kings and emperors, these magi gave Jesus three very expensive gifts. The gift of gold was a king’s gift and Christ is our King. Frankincense was a worthy gift for Christ since He was the anointed One who deserves our worship. Myrrh was a prophetic gift because Jesus would die for the sins of the world.

There are a little phonetic game with word “myrrh”- myrrh-rre-rru-myrrh……
