How the 'three wise men' from the east ended up in Cologne DW 01/06/2024
Briefly

Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 legalized Christianity and influenced many, including his mother Helena, who embarked on a quest for Jesus-related relics.
Helena discovered not only the grave of Jesus but also what is believed to be the remains of the Three Wise Men, showcasing her dedication.
The journey of the Three Wise Men's relics, brought by Helena to Constantinople then to Milan, illustrates the early Christian reverence for sacred artifacts.
The collapse of the ox cart near Milan symbolizes the end of a long and grueling journey, emphasizing the effort invested in preserving these relics.
