The Fontanini Nativity story of Balthazar: A true prince of Africa, Balthazar was the Magi who travelled the furthest in his journey to see the Christ Child. He carried his gift of myrrh - an aromatic resin said to repress suffering - many, many miles, and, it is said, awoke the Baby, who smiled sweetly at the Nubian king.
