Saint Caspar

Saint Caspar is a very special person who lived a long, long time ago. He was one of the three wise men who went on a journey to visit baby Jesus when he was born in Bethlehem.

The three wise men were called Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They traveled a very long way from the east, following a bright star in the sky that led them to where baby Jesus was.

When they got there, they brought some special gifts for the baby. Caspar brought a very important gift of frankincense, which was a very valuable and rare type of perfume that was used in religious ceremonies.

Saint Caspar is remembered because he was one of the first people to recognize how special baby Jesus was, and he wanted to honor him by giving him a very important gift. Many people still remember Saint Caspar today and think about the important role he played in the story of Jesus's birth.
