Three Kings Day

Jan

Three Kings' Day, celebrated on January 6th, honors the day when the three wise men, also called magi or kings, visited baby Jesus with special gifts. In many countries, especially in Latin America and Spain, children receive presents on this day, similar to Christmas. People often have parades, with people dressed as the three kings, and enjoy a special cake called "Rosca de Reyes" or "King's Cake," which might have a tiny baby toy hidden inside. It's a day filled with joy, gifts, and family gatherings, reminding us of the story of giving and kindness.

How to celebrate Three Kings Day?

Wake up early and look for presents that the Three Kings left for you, just like Santa does on Christmas. Have some fun with your family while you open them. Bake or buy a special cake called "Rosca de Reyes," which has tiny toy figures hidden inside. Whoever finds one gets to be special for the day! Enjoy the cake with hot chocolate. You can also dress up as a king with a crown made from paper. Sing songs, play games, and remember to say thank you to the Three Kings. At night, leave hay or grass for the camels.
