Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

Gold, frankincense and myrrh were the three gifts offered by the Magi to Christ our Lord, are full of meaning and symbolism. What does each of these gifts mean in our walk with the Lord, and what do these three gifts together mean? How can we offer these gifts, and what is the most precious gift that God seeks from us? In this homily, God, Frankincense and Myrrh, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, 117th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark, throws light on these questions and describes how our Lord Himself was gold, frankincense and myrrh. 

Two other homilies are contained within, namely You Blessed My Nature in You and Efficacies of the Nativity. Drawing upon many years in the desert of egypt and many years in the life of ministry in the See of Saint Mark, His Holy Pope Shenouda gives insight on how, by following the footsteps of our Lord, we can gain practical benefit for our life from the glorious Feast of the Nativity.
