Plot

This short novella expands the biblical story of the three Magi with a fictional account of a fourth Magus named Artaban. While his three companions travel west, following the Star of Bethlehem, Artaban stops to aid a dying man and consequently does not make it in time to laud the newborn Christ. For years, he wanders as a pilgrim, seeking Christ and holding on to the precious gift he had intended to give him.
