The Magi ( Majousha) in Aramaic Tradition

The Journey and Their Mode of Travel: Syriac texts emphasize that the Magi came on horses, not camels. Horses were symbols of royal authority and swiftness, aligning with their role as emissaries of a kingly mission.This detail contrasts with Western Nativity scenes that traditionally depict camels. 2. Timing of Their Visit: Syriac and broader Eastern traditions suggest the Magi visited Jesus when he was a toddler, not a newborn.The star (ܟܘܟܒܐ) is often interpreted in Syriac tradition as leading them to a house rather than the manger (Matthew 2:11). 3. The Twelve Names of the Magi: According to Syriac tradition, there were twelve Magi, each representing different regions of the East.Names (examples from Syriac manuscripts): HormizdYazdegerdPerozDadharsesShaburArdachshirMihryarNarsaiAshkhenTirdatAnushirwanSatarbukhThese names reflect their possible Persian and Aramaic cultural affiliations. for more teachings of Aramaic scripture check Twins International Academy www.twinstours.com/webinars
