Answer:

This ceremony alludes to the biblical story of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba by telling the story of a couple who exchanges gifts. Both stories explore the theme of the interaction of wealth and love.

Queen Sheba brought gifts and the richest with her. King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. They were "the wisest" for each giving up their most valuable items for each other even though giving up their most precious possession ruined one another's gift.

Queen Sheba discovered the real wisdom of Solomon, that he can handle any tricky situation, that no one can fool him that's why he's a highly respected King in their great times.

Later on, the allusions to the Queen of Sheba and Solomon are made in many famous paintings, sculptures, and other artwork. Most depict a wealthy man and woman sharing gifts with each other, typically surrounded by symbols of wealth or people.

Step-by-step explanation:

This biblical story of King Solomon and Queen Sheba is alluded to in one of the important Masonic traditions.

According to the Bible, the purpose of her visit was to test Solomon's wisdom by asking him to solve a number of riddles.

The Queen of Sheba is the monarch mentioned in the Bible and then in later works who travels to Jerusalem to experience the wisdom of King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba came to Solomon with an open, teachable heart. She brought gifts and the richest with her. She came to worship and to gaze on his beauty.

Allusions can invoke a wide range of subjects: they can draw from history, culture, or other works of literature, to name just a few examples. You can identify allusions by thinking critically about what part of a sentence or paragraph talks about something by relating it to something that comes from outside the text.
