| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Magi |
 | | The religion of the Magi was fundamentally that of Zoroaster and forbade sorcery; their astrology and skill in interpreting dreams were occasions of their finding Christ. | | | The Church, indeed, in her liturgy, applies to the Magi the words: "The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents; the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring him gifts: and all the kings of the earth shall adore him" (Psalm 71:10). | | | It is said that after their return home, the Magi were baptized by St. Thomas and wrought much for the spread of the Faith in Christ. |
