Myrrh For A Baby? | The Gifts | Week 2 |

from Grace At Home Podcast · host Matt Media

Gold, frankincense and myrrh - we know the three gifts in the Christmas story. Gold sounds like a decent gift for any new family to receive, but myrrh? Its main use was for embalming dead bodies! Why would the Magi give funeral oil to a newborn baby!? In this second week of our Christmas series, we discover more about what this strange gift, why the Magi may have thought it was appropriate, and why its symbolic significance matters for us today.
