Melchior, one of the three Wise Men, is traditionally associated with offering gold to the Child Jesus, a symbol of divine royalty. His figure, while not mentioned in the canonical Gospels with a specific name, has been developed by Christian tradition since the 3rd century. Venerated as a wise man from the East, Melchior represents the wisdom and wealth that prostrate themselves before the Savior. His feast day is January 6, the day of the Epiphany, which celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the entire world. His veneration underlines the universality of the Christian message and the adoration of all peoples to the Messiah.
