El Día de Reyes (Three Kings Day, Jan. 6)


El Día de Reyes (Three Kings Day, Jan. 6)
Also called Los Tres Reyes, Los Reyes Magos or, on the Catholic calendar, the Epiphany, the 12th day after Christmas is when the three kings, or wise men (magi), laden with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, arrived after following the star to Bethlehem. This is the day Mexican children traditionally receive gifts. In the preceding days, they write letters to Melchior, Gaspar or Balthasar to request special presents.

Greetings from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
