Female Narrator: After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod,

We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him." (Matthew 2:1-2, NIV)

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. They saw the Child with His mother, Mary, and they
bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts
of gold, frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew 2:9-11, NIV)
