CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Magi
The names of the Magi are as uncertain as is their number. Among the
Latins, from the seventh century, we find slight variants of the names, Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar; the Martyrology mentions St. Gaspar, on the first, St. Melchior, on the sixth, and St. Balthasar, on the eleventh of January (Acta SS., I, 8, 323, 664). TheSyrians have Larvandad, Hormisdas, Gushnasaph, etc.; the
Armenians, Kagba, Badadilma, etc. (Cf. Acta Sanctorum, May, I, 1780). Passing over the purely legendary notion that they represented the three
families which are descended from
Noah, it appears they all came from "the east" (
Matthew 2:1, 2, 9). East of Palestine, only ancient Media,
Persia,
Assyria, and
Babylonia had a <!--3ref=u44=xxyyyk.htm">Magian
priesthood at the time of the birth of Christ. From some such part of the Parthian Empire the Magi came. They probably crossed the Syrian Desert, lying between the Euphrates and
Syria, reached either Haleb (Aleppo) or Tudmor (Palmyra), and journeyed on to Damascus and southward, by what is now the great
Mecca route (
darb elhaj, "the pilgrim's way"), keeping the
Sea of Galilee and the
Jordan to their west till they crossed the ford near
Jericho. We have no tradition of the precise land meant by "the east". It is Babylon, according to St. Maximus (Homil. xviii in Epiphan.); and
Theodotus of Ancyra (Homil. de Nativitate, I, x);
Persia, according to
Clement of Alexandria (
Stromata I.15) and
St. Cyril of Alexandria (In Is., xlix, 12); Aribia, according to
St. Justin (Cont. Tryphon., lxxvii),
Tertullian (Adv. Jud., ix), and
St. Epiphanius (Expos. fidei, viii).
Now wala ni sa bible sama sad sa real name ni God nga lisod i conclude ang tinood name sa hebrew origin kay nagtoo sila sa una nga kung mo sulti ka ani "yhwh" magabaan ka kay pina ka holy ni nga name. wala pa nahibaw-i ang iya vowel ani mao ni gitawag ug tetra-grammaton. NOw kung moingon ta dili makit-an sa bible ang name sa tulo ka magi sama sad nga ang bible dili accurate ang name ni God. Pero karon gibutangan na nila ug vowel mao ng Yahweh. para lang mabasa.
