According to the preist’s homily today, the Magi were either from Iran or what is now Iraq.
So the word magi/magus comes from Latin....the Arabic word is majus. Interesting similarity...

According to the preists homily today, the Magi were either from Iran or what is now Iraq. Interesting ... did he say how he arrived at that conclusion? Is it possible one may have been from Syria and or Egypt?
