¿Eran tres o 12? ¿Los guiaba una estrella? Lo que de verdad sabemos sobre los Reyes Magos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:54:02 GMT

(CNN Español) — “Entraron en la casa, vieron al niño con su madre María y lo adoraron postrados en tierra. Abrieron sus cofres y le ofrecieron como regalo oro, incienso y mirra”.Basta con leer estas pocas palabras del Evangelio de Mateo para identificar de manera inmediata, y sin asomo de dudas, de quiénes está hablando el texto: son Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar, los Reyes Magos, que según el relato bíblico salieron en busca del ‘rey de los judíos’ y, guiados por una estrella y tras un encuentro con el cruel Herodes, llegaron hasta él para adorarlo.Sin embargo, en ningún lado de la narración escueta que hace el Evangelio de Mateo de este episodio —es, por cierto, el único de los cuatro Evangelios donde se consigna esta visita— está dicho que sean reyes. Ni que sean magos tal como concebimos el concepto. Ni que sean tres. Ni mucho menos que se llamen Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar.Incluso entre aquellos que creen que este episodio de la vida de Jesús realmente...

China retaliates in EU trade row by launching liquor probe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:54:02 GMT

China will investigate whether European producers of liquors are dumping their products on the Chinese market in apparent retaliation against a European Commission probe into subsidies for electric vehicles made in China.Though the Ministry of Commerce didn’t mention any countries or distillers by name in its announcement on Friday, the probe likely will target cognac, Armagnac and other varieties of French brandies. The ministry describes the focus as “spirits made from distilled wine originating in the EU and imported into containers of less than 200 liters.”The inquiry comes only three months after the official start of the EU’s investigation into whether subsidies for electric vehicle producers from China are unfair. Beijing has argued the ramping production of the cars is not due to subsidies but rather the result of carefully planning its access to raw materials plus a decade-long march to improve its industrial innovation.The commerce ministry launched the probe in resp...
