Description
Though Santa Claus has left for the North Pole to rest, the gift is not over -- at least not for the thousands of children in Latin America and Spain, who anxiously awaiting Sunday's "El Dia de los Reyes" ( Three Kings' Day) Celebration. For many Christians, the holiday season doesn't officially end until the 12th day of Christmas referred to as the "Feast of the Epiphany" or "Three Kings' Day".
Each year the holiday falls on Jan. 6 and marks the biblical adoration of baby Jesus by the three Kings, also referred to as Wise Men or Magi. According to the Gospel of Matthew, it took 12 days for the three men -Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar to find the child by following the North Star across the desert to Bethlehem.
