In 1866 the first parade of Three Wise Men was held in Alcoy, and from there the tradition extended to countries of Hispanic culture. The tradition of turning the Epiphany into a children’s celebration began in Spain in the nineteenth century and the idea was to give gifts to children and imitate what was done in other countries on Christmas Day, where the main character is Santa Claus. Celebrated every January 6, originally known as Epiphany and historically observed by Christians, the tradition commemorates the visit of the magi or wise men, Balthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar, to baby Jesus.Īccording to the belief, the three wise men traveled from the East guided by a star to Bethlehem (hence the name of Bethlehem’s star) to pay tribute to Christ child and deliver the gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh, symbols of wealth. 🎁 La mañana del 6 de enero, los niños de cada casa se levantan nerviosos más temprano de lo habitual para abrir los regalos que Los Reyes dejaron la noche anterior.In Latin America and Spain, the Three Kings Day or Día de los Reyes Magos is one of the most important holidays of the year. Ver la ilusión en la cara de los niños cuando ven a Los Reyes Magos por primera vez ¡no tiene precio! 🤩ĭespués de haber visto la Cabalgata de Reyes de la ciudad, los niños se van corriendo a sus casas para dejar un poco de agua, leche y comida para los Reyes y sus camellos. Originariamente, los Tres Reyes Magos viajan en camello desde Oriente la noche del 5 de enero 👑🐪 Sin embargo, se han adaptado a tiempos modernos y dependiendo de la ciudad llegan en coche, barco o incluso en ¡helicóptero! en su lugar, los que no se han portado bien van a recibir un trozo de carbón 😈 📝Por eso, cada año todos los niños escriben una carta a los reyes explicando lo buenos que han sido y pidiendo los regalos que desean recibir. Pero. Al llegar, estos tres magos (Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar) le ofrecieron tres regalos: oro, incienso y mirra. La tradición cuenta que los Reyes Magos fueron al portal de Belén siguiendo una estrella que les indicaba el camino para ver al Niño Jesús, que acababa de nacer. 🇪🇸 Una vez terminan las fiestas de Navidad, en España aún queda el día más mágico. 🎁 The morning of January 6th, the children of each house get up nervous and earlier than usual to discover what gifts Their Majesties the Kings have given them the night before.Īnd this is, for us, the most magical night of the year ✨ To see the excitement on children’s face when they see The Three Kings for the first time is priceless! 🤩Īfter having seen the city's parade of Kings, children run home to offer some water, milk and food so that they and their camels regain strength. On the evening of January the 5th the Three Wise Men originally travel by camel from the East 👑🐪 They have now adapted to the modern world and depending on the city they visit they might get there by car, boat or even by helicopter! However, the naughty ones will receive a piece of coal instead 😈 📝For this reason, every year, children write their letters to the Three kings explaining how good they have been and listing the gifts that they wish to receive. Tradition says that the Three Wise Men went to the Bethlehem portal following a star that showed them the way to see the Child Jesus, who had just been born. Upon arrival, these three magicians (Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar) offered him three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (keep scrolling down for the Spanish version of this post)
