Your first thought might be, "What can a baby do with Myrrh? I mean, it's an expensive gift, but it's not something that baby Jesus could play with."
Better yet, what is Myrrh?
It is a resin or gum taken from a tree and made into a spice. They use it when burying dead bodies. It seems strange that someone would bring a gift used during a burial ceremony as a birthday gift. Baby Jesus is going to grow to be a man and suffer pain and death.

So why is all of this so important? #29​​
