Commemorating the day whereupon the three masters reached Bethlehem, Three Kings Day is twelve days after Christmas day, and marks completion of the Christmas period.

Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6th, twelve days after Christmas which is the last day of the Christmas season.

In Spain they celebrate the end of Christmas with a great party where everybody gives and receives presents. It is to celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Men - Melchior Caspar and Balthazar - to the city where Jesus was born. The children receive presents, much the same as we receive presents on December 25th.

So really three Kings Day is just about celebrating Christmas but it all depends in which country you live is your Christmas Day, 25th December or January 6th.

Three Kings Day????????

Three Kings Day is a name for Epiphany. It is the when the "3 kings from the east" (sometimes the 3 wise men), are said to have arrived at Bethlehem to see the infant Jesus.

More importantly from a celebration standpoint, it is the gift-giving day in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. Because the kings brought presents to Jesus on that day, giving gifts is part of the tradition. In Louisiana, it marks the beginning of the Carnival season, and "King's Cakes" are baked, with a "prize" inside.

Three Kings Day?

again....

Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6th, twelve days after Christmas. It is often viewed as the last day of the Christmas season (the end of the 12 days of Christmas).

Also known as The Epiphany, Three Kings Day (Día de los Reyes) is a Christian celebration that commemorates the Biblical story of the three kings who followed the star of Bethlehem to bring gifts to the Christ child. According to the Biblical story, the Three Kings – named Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar – presented the Baby Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Three Kings Day was the gift-giving time, rather than Christmas day. Just as it is common for children to leave cookies for Santa in the U.S., in some regions, it was customary for children to leave their shoes out on the night of January 5, often filling them with hay for the camels, in hopes that the Three Kings would be generous. Children would awake on January 6 to find their shoes filled with toys and gifts.

Also traditional is for families to gather together and share the Rosca de Reyes. The Rosca de Reyes is a crown-shaped sweet bread decorated with pieces of orange and lime. It is filled with nuts, figs, and cherries. Hot chocolate is traditionally served with the Rosca de Reyes.
