I know that the wise men brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold to baby Jesus when he was born. But what did these three gifts symbolize?

The three gifts had a spiritual meaning: gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense as a symbol of deity, and myrrh as a symbol of death. The gift of gold was a king’s gift and Christ is our King. Frankincense was a worthy gift for Christ since He was the anointed One who deserves our worship. Myrrh was a prophetic gift because Jesus would die for the sins of the world.
