This is no ordinary boy, no ordinary birth. Unless one sees this and feels this, unless one leaves the manger like the shepherd rejoicing or leaves the house of this child returning home by a different route, then you've missed the point. We don't know what these wise men said to Mary or Joseph or what they thought about Jesus, other than they offered three gifts. Gold is a gift for the king. Frankincense is a sweet perfume used in temple sacrifice.
Myrrh is a gift for one who is about to die.
On the morning the women went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus on Easter morning they more than likely had myrrh with them. This is all we know, so we are left to our imaginations. He imagines the wise men on their camels leaving the cold, snowy mountains of central Persia, eventually finding the place. The he envisions them back home in Persia reflecting upon the encounter with this epiphany, trying to come to grips with what gripped them. One magus reflects and wants to record what it meant to him.
