What did Jesus's family do with the three wise mens gifts?

got high on the incense, sold the rest.

I have wondered the same. Either there wasn’t much gold, or they spent like crazy right off, because they lived poor.
Maybe that accounts for the missing years.

Funny you should ask, someone just asked me the same thing the other day…

They probably returned them for cash the next day. I hope they got receipts.

Invested it in commodities. Then liquidated it to start up a carpentry business.

According to this article it had many medicinal and perhaps magical uses, and was perhaps world more than the gold they brought.

“According to the Hebrew Bible, frankincense and myrrh were components of the holy incense ritually burned in Jerusalem’s sacred temples during ancient times. The ancient Greeks and Romans also imported massive amounts of the resins, which they burned as incense, used during cremations and took for a wide variety of ailments. By this time, medical practitioners had recognized and documented the substances’ antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, prescribing them for everything from indigestion and chronic coughs to hemorrhoids and halitosis. According to Touwaide, myrrh appears with more frequency than any other plant substance in the writings of the Greek physician Hippocrates, who revolutionized the field of medicine in the fourth and third centuries B.C. The Roman historian and botanist Pliny the Elder, who recommended frankincense as an antidote to hemlock poisoning, wrote in the first century A.D. that the pricey dried sap had made the southern Arabians the richest people on earth.”

“At the time Jesus is thought to have been born, frankincense and myrrh may have been worth more than their weight in the third gift presented by the wise men: gold But despite their significance in the New Testament, the substances fell out of favor in Europe with the rise of Christianity and fall of the Roman Empire, which essentially obliterated the thriving trade routes that had developed over many centuries. In the early years of Christianity, incense was expressly forbidden because of its associations with pagan worship; later, however, some denominations, including the Catholic Church, would incorporate the burning of frankincense, myrrh and other aromatic items into specific rites.”

Isn’t that why eBay exists?

The gold was used to pay the taxes that were owed. The Frankincense was by the family to prevent “monkeybutt” on the saviour while the Myrrh was used to keep down the odor from the holy diaper pail.
The sheep from the shepherds was used by Joseph to satisfy “those” needs (remember Mary had to remain virginal).

A lot of the gold was probably used for rhe trip to Egypt!

Incense, frankensense and myrrh is what I think the Bible says. Anyway, Rabbi Cohn or Kohn , the prolific writer , announced on the Jim Bakker Show (and nobody questioned him) “there were no wise men.” He said it with supreme confidence as if he had actually been at the scene I thought someone, just anyone on stage, would have said, “really? They never showed up?” but nobody said a word. Not that I care one way or the other. I mean, it can’t be proven.

Well, they hardly could be described as wise when they went to the wrong house first.

They could have been quite intellectual and have gone to the wrong place first. Not saying they existed.

Well, hey they were wise enough to figure out they were at the wrong barn. Of course, had they been wise women they would have asked for directions and got it right the first time.
