Happy Three Kings Day, friends!
Western Christianity celebrates the Magi on the day of Epiphany, January 6, the day immediately following the twelve days of Christmas, particularly in the Spanish-speaking parts of the world. In these areas, the Three Kings ("los Reyes Magos de Oriente", also "Los Tres Reyes Magos" and "Los Reyes Magos") receive letters from children and magically bring them gifts on the night before Epiphany. If you celebrate Three Kings Day, I hope that Gaspar, Balthazar, and Melchior have paid you a visit last night!
Have a great weekend!
