The Magi also referred to as the (Three) Wise Men or (Three) Kings were, in Christian tradition, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold,frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, they were the first religious figures to worship Jesus. It states that "they" came "from the east" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews."[2]Although the account does not mention the number of people "they" or "the Magi" refers to, the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men.[3][4] In the East, the Magi traditionally number twelve.[4] Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, "May all kings fall down before him".[4][5]
Journey of the Magi" opens with a quote about a journey, and it's a cold and difficult one. From the title of the poem, we can tell that this is the journey of the Three Kings (or magi as mentioned above)to the birthplace of Jesus. the poem elaborates on the difficulties of travel, including grumpy camels, wishing for home (home being warm and full of girls and servants), fires going out, unfriendly and expensive towns, and a distinct lack of places to sleep. The speaker notes that the Magi preferred to just travel all night for these reasons, and that through their travels, a little voice in their heads kept suggesting that maybe this whole thing was all for nothing.
Then, the narrator goes on to tell of the Magi's arrival in the temperate valley(Bethlehem) (21). They still can't find any info about where they were supposed to go from the villagers, however, so they eventually have find the place which was satisfactory i.e. they had found the stable in which they had to witness the birth of jesus.

    The twists and turns of the plot as it unfolds within O. Henry 's “The Gift of the Magi” are what simply captivate the reader in such a short amount of pages. The story of Jim and Della on a cold Christmas Eve at the turn of 20th century America is centered around what is remarkably relevant to what many readers have experienced in their own lives; the inevitable stresses, sacrifices, and joys of the holiday season.…

They decided to travel to Gibeah of Benjamin, but when they arrived, they had to stay in the street because no one took them in (v. 14-15).

    The lack of imagery and metaphor in O. Henry’s short story “The Gift of Magi” make the few Bible allusions stand out. In the last paragraph O. Henry compares Jim and Della to the three wise men that came to give gifts to Jesus on the first Christmas. Also in the exposition of the story there are another two Biblical allusions. Della’s hair is written to be so beautiful that her hair would depreciate The Queen of Sheba’s jewels and gifts. And Jim’s golden watch would have made King Solomon pluck his beard with envy.…

    The narrator opens the General Prologue with a description of the return of spring. He describes the April rains, the burgeoning flowers and leaves, and the chirping birds. Around this time of year, the narrator says, people begin to feel the desire to go on a pilgrimage. Many devout English pilgrims set off to visit shrines in distant holy lands, but even more choose to travel to Canterbury to visit the relics of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, where they thank the martyr for having helped them when they were in need. The narrator tells us that as he prepared to go on such a pilgrimage, staying at a tavern in Southwark called the Tabard Inn, a great company of twenty-nine travelers entered. The travelers were a diverse group who, like the narrator, were on their way to Canterbury. They happily agreed to let him join them. That night, the group slept at the Tabard, and woke up early the next morning to set off on their journey. Before continuing the tale, the narrator declares his intent to list and describe each of the members of the group.…
