This article analyzes the continuation and old Christian as well as medieval exegesis of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matthew 2 : 11) in Polish sermons from the fourteenth through the eighteenth centuries. In particular, I focus on those cases in which the traditional symbolism of the gifts of the Three Magi is a point of reference for conceptist interpretations that take into consideration the political, social, and religious contexts of the time.
