Introduction
The biblical narrative of the Wise Men from the East—traditionally known as the Magi - occupies a brief yet profound place in the Gospel of Matthew (2:1–12). Though appearing only once in the New Testament, their journey has exerted immense influence on Christian theology, intercultural philosophy, and global ethics. The Magi symbolize seekers of truth, bearers of wisdom across civilizations, and agents of peace who transcend political fear and ethnic boundaries. In the contemporary world - marked by conflict, fragmentation, religious intolerance, and epistemic crisis - the journey of the Magi stands as a powerful parable for ethical leadership, spiritual discernment, and cross-cultural cooperation (Brown, 1993; Wright, 2001).
