"The Story of the Other Wise Man" by Henry Van Dyke is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. This poignant narrative explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the pursuit of truth through the journey of Artaban, a lesser-known Magi who seeks the Christ child. Unlike the well-known three Wise Men who follow the star to Bethlehem, Artaban's quest is marked by delays, trials, and unexpected acts of compassion that shape his understanding of what it truly means to serve and to love. The story follows Artaban as he embarks on a pilgrimage to find the newborn King. Armed with precious jewels to present as gifts, he journeys far and wide, only to face a series of obstacles that divert him from his original path. Throughout his travels, Artaban encounters the sick and the needy, compelling him to prioritize acts of kindness over his initial quest. Despite not reaching his destination in time to meet the King, Artaban's unwavering commitment to helping others leads him to a profound understanding: that true worship lies not in ritual but in love and service to humanity. Ultimately, he discovers that his sacrifices have drawn him closer to the divine, echoing the message that in serving the least of these, one serves the King.
