Epiphany

To offer gold is to proclaim Christ's kingship, to offer incense is to adore his Godhead, and to offer myrhh is to acknowledge his mortality.

Creation responds as well: When the king of heaven was born, the heavens knew that he was God because they immediately sent forth a star; the sea knew him because it allowed him to walk upon it; the earth knew him because it trembled when he died; the sun knew him because it hid the rays of its light.

The manifestation of the Son of God to the world begs belief from us by which we will be led home by another way.
