Matthew 2:11 “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshiped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”

there is no evidence that there were three of them but there were three gifts…i guess they do what other people do when they get a gift basket….they used it….they fled to Egypt away from Herod…the gold of course was useful as money, myrrh was used as an oil base for perfumes mostly used in funerals so the bodies wouldn’t smell, frankincense had medical properties as well as burned as a welcome to guests….all pretty useful in their journey

In Matthew 2, however, it says the gifts were given to the child; that’s what became of the gifts.

The frankincense was burned in a container to provide fragrant smoke during religious ceremonies and probably used at his 13th birthday.

Myrrh was an ointment rubbed on the bodies of the dead as a preservative and would have been soaked into the bandages or shroud that His body was wrapped in after the crucifixion.
