Yes and your picture illustrates them.   Their feast day is January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas, and it is called Epiphany (meaning manifestation) because it was the first time that Jesus, God made Man, was revealed to the world.

The article on Wikpedia tells it all.  The URL is in another reply.

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

But were these Three Kings, real kings???

From where?

Why do you think one gave gold?

The other two, gave something too?

Au revoir,

Gold for his Kingship, Frankensense for his Divinity and Myrrr for his Death as best as I can remember.

Merci Br. Patrick !

1- But gold is needed in order to be a King?

2- Or gold in order to have friends ?

These just sound like negatives to me!

There must be another reason?

Au revoir,
hugs!

They are meant to be understood as SYMBOLS.   Like a Totem Pole

That also reminds me of a Prince in India who came on Oprah's show this year and, he, a gay man of a religion that do NOT accept gays, was asked by her: How is It That You are Accepted (Or not Killed?), and he replied: I feed the poor...; so I can understand this Prince so that, his actions of gift of help, can help so that there will be no-gay-bashing!

One way, any others?

Giving in any way is a very special thing because it is always returned to you - tenfold, a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.

Give without the thought of what you might get out of it and you're on the right track.

Merci Br. Patrick

What you say: I always found that to be true very often...
sometimes it takes years,
as well some actions of love are immediate;
mon frère artiste peintre Robert loves to help as often as possible,
and to-day sent me this
which you will/can enjoy too by moving arrow right or left or another:
that l'mage change:

I would love to have my paintings I create in such a beautiful place,
and see your images and you there too.

Did you ever see some churches in  Québec?

Come by planning now, see my exhibition in Montreal next September 21 to September 28th 2009 ?

When you are in such a place as a church, you do not think that anyone would gay-bash someone!
Maybe we need to build more churches in the USA and Canada now ? !! There are now incredible numbers of mosques!

Au revoir,
hugs!

Br. Patrick  did you see the Oscars last night?

Two, in their ways were for no more gay bashing:
Actor Penn, a straight man, wants gay marriages for gays FREEDOM!

And so did say writer for LIBERTY Dustin Lance Black who said that he was a gay man and wanted that freedom to marry!
No matter what a church can say in negatives against that!

Did you see?

Au revoir,
hugs!
