Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, but Jesus of Damascus as an infant never received precious gifts from the three Magi from the East–frankincense from Africa, gold from Asia and myrrh from Europe, that appeared in an imagined scene of three Middle Eastern men on canvas.
The Magi, meaning magicians or magians, originated in ancient Persia. The name refers to soothsayers or tellers of fortunes. They were Zoroastrians from what is Iran today–the original story told by Christians every year at Christmas time.
Dear Ones,
The mother of Jesus from Damascus was not a virgin as was the mother of Jesus born in Bethlehem. Although Mary the mother of Jesus was pregnant before she married Joseph, according to a story, an angel visited her and told her she was going to be pregnant as a virgin (some scribes meant "a young women") and give birth to a son. This little boy was part of a relationship of "a God, his Father and the Holy Ghost, a Trinity" who all in one now live in the sky. Pliny the Elder and historian Origen are sources of this information.
It has been calculated that 70% of the United States population are Christians. They all look forward to Jesus Christ, called the Messiah, returning to Earth, with all the Jewish people being converted to Christianity on that day. Meanwhile the Hebrew people are still looking for the Jewish messiah.
Jesus born in Nazareth is the son of Tiberius Patera, meaning panther in Latin . Yeshu ben Patera was born between 45 B.C.E and 22 C.E. Some early writers wrote that he was around nineteen years old when Mary gave birth to Jesus.
Patera, from Phoenicia near Galilee, was a Roman soldier during an uprising in which it is said Joseph was also involved. They probably fought against one another during the battle. According to one story, Joseph was never heard from again. But the grave stone of Patera is now in a German museum.
If all these pieces of a mysterious puzzle seems confusing, it has bewildered the world ever since the beginning of the common era. But one thing is sure, Jesus born of Mary was a great peacemaker who was kind and benevolent toward children as well as women. His strong feminine side still shines through to this day.
