The first picture is of the Three Wise Men on their way to Bethlehem.
They are dressed in oriental robes and turbans. The first carries a
pot of gold; the second, a jeweled casket filled with frankincense;
the third, an incense holder filled with myrrh. As the curtains part,
they enter from the right. Their gaze is fixed on a great light which
streams from off-stage, left, on their upturned faces. They move slowly
across the stage and toward the light as they sing “We Three Kings of
Orient Are.”
