THE  MYSTERY  OF THE  THREE  KINGS

The Mystery of the Three Kings is an investigation into the truth behind the biblical wise men who brought gifts to the newly born Christ. The programme uses evocative dramatisations and state-of-the-art computer graphics to shed new light on one of Christianity's oldest legends.The programme confirms that the Magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion.It examines what happened to the 3 Magi after they witnessed the birth of Christ.

During the summer, the programme makers approached the Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe to do some filming in Zoroastrian House in Hampstead London. They interviewed Dr Almut Hintze, Zartoshty Brothers Lecturer in Zoroastrianism at the School of Oriental & African Studies at London University. They also filmed Ervad Rostam Bhedwar performing Zoroastrian rituals.

The TV programme has been extensively written about in the media. Please inform all fellow Zoroastrians and friends to watch this interesting film. We are told that it will also be shown on BBC World Service Television and on BBC 24 hours News Channel.

It must be borne in mind that ZTFE merely extended our facilities to the BBC team and were not involved in the content of the programme.
