| | The Epiphany Season |
| | In Hispanic and Latin culture, as well as some places in Europe, it is known as Three Kings’ Day (Span: el Dia de los Tres Reyes, la Fiesta de Reyes, or el Dia de los Reyes Magos; Dutch: Driekoningendag). | | | In some Central and South American countries influenced by Catholic tradition, Three Kings’ Day, or the night before, is the time for opening Christmas presents. | | | The Wise Men or Magi who brought gifts to the infant Jesus were the first Gentiles to acknowledge Jesus as "King" and so were the first to "show" or "reveal" Jesus to a wider world as the incarnate Christ. |

| | Pride and Tradition on Three Kings Day |
| | In New York and in other cities around the U.S., we will see Three Kings Day parades, with Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar trudging not through the sand of Jerusalem or Latin America but through the rain and snow of North America in winter. | | | For we believe that 12 days after the birth of Christ, on the 6thof January, three great kings arrived to pay their respects to the baby Jesus. | | | But Christianity took hold, and the tradition of Three Kings Day endured and became a symbol of our culture and faith. |
