According to Marco Polo, the Child Jesus gave the Magi a closed box. Upon their return to Persia, they found a stone in it. But upset about the present, they threw it into a well.
Subsequently, a flame immediately descended from the sky towards the well.
From that day on, the Magi worshiped the sacred fire.
