Reply to "ART Workshop Lessons and Ideas for teaching about the Wisemen/Magi"

Just a comment on one of the discussion questions in the potpourri lesson above.  There is no biblical reference to either the number or names of the Magi.  These are traditions that have developed from the three gifts and our need to name.

We did a well-received lesson with our kids where we showed them lots of different artistic representations of the Magi's visit, comparing them with each other and the biblical text.  For older children it provides a good jumping-off point for a discussion about the assumptions we make about other people and how potentially hurtful this can be (bringing darkness instead of the light of Jesus).
