WRITINGS ON THE MEETING BETWEEN ST. THOMAS AND THE MAGI IMPLY THAT ONE OF THE MAGI CAME FROM INDIA

"Revelation of the Magi, 3rd-century,” “Commentarius in S. Matthaeum, 4th century,” “Opus Imperfectum in Mattheum,” 4th century, up to the mystic Maria Agreda (17th century) make the connection between St. Thomas and the encounter with the Magi. These writings are seen as further proof that one of the Magi came from India.
