'Beyond the river Euphrates the magians lived: and they were wise, could read the language of the stars, and they divined that one, a master soul was born, they saw his star above Jerusalem. And there were three magian priests who longed to see the master of the coming age; and they took costly gifts and hastened to the West in search of him, the unknown king, that they might honour him. And one took gold, the symbol of nobility; another myrrh, the symbol of dominion and of power; gum-thus the other took, the symbol of the wisdom of the sage.' The three wise men Hor, Lun and Mer came from the city Persepolis in Persia. (The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi Dowling pp18-19, 61)

Zoroaster, the Persian prophet, taught that a virgin should conceive and bear a son and a star would appear blazing at midday to signal the occurrence. "When you behold the star," said he to his followers, "follow it wither soever it leads you. Adore the mysterious child, offering him gifts with profound humility. He is indeed the Almighty Lord, which created the heavens. He is indeed your Lord and everlasting King." (History of Idolatry by Faber, Vol 2, p92)
