Magi
     n : (New Testament) the sages who visited Jesus and Mary and
         Joseph shortly after Jesus was born; the Gospel According
         to Matthew says they were guided by a star and brought
         gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh; because there
         were three gifts it is usually assumed that there were
         three of them [syn: {Wise Men}]
