Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th, is a Christian holiday also known as Three Kings' Day. It marks the visit of the Three Wise Men to baby Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This day reminds people of sharing and giving, like the Wise Men did. In many countries, children receive presents on this day, and sometimes special cakes or bread are baked with hidden surprises inside. It's a time for families to celebrate together after Christmas, remembering the joy of giving and receiving gifts, and the special story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus.
How to celebrate Epiphany?
Gather your family and friends for a fun meal. Bake a special cake called "King Cake" with a tiny toy or bean hidden inside. Whoever finds it gets to be king or queen for the day and wears a paper crown. Sing joyful songs and maybe read a story together. Decorate your home with bright lights or stars to make it look festive. If you want, dress up as one of the Three Wise Men or wear costumes for a little play. Share kindness and maybe help someone in need. End the day by enjoying more treats and playing games.
