BEHIND THIS SCENE

What is history and what is fiction?

Open reconstructionThe chapter is literary theology rather than recoverable event history.

Historical anchor

Magi remained known as Iranian priestly specialists, though their exact institutions and beliefs varied across time and place.

Fiction boundary

Parisa, Ardeshir, Mehrdad, and their archive are fictional; they are not claimed as Matthew's historical Magi.
