Three Kings Day, also known as Epiphany or "Día de los Reyes Magos," is celebrated on January 6th each year. This holiday is rooted in Christian tradition, marking the day the Three Wise Men (or Magi) visited the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In Venezuela, as in many Latin American countries, this day holds significant cultural importance and is widely celebrated.
Gift-Giving: Children often receive gifts on this day in remembrance of the gifts given to Jesus by the Magi. It's a continuation of the festive season that starts with Christmas.
Rosca de Reyes: A traditional food eaten on this day is the "Rosca de Reyes" or "Galleta de Reyes," a round-shaped pastry that sometimes contains a small figurine representing baby Jesus. Whoever finds it may host a party on Candlemas Day (February 2nd).
Nativity Scenes: Nativity scenes or "nacimientos" remain displayed until Three Kings Day, highlighting the arrival of the Wise Men to visit baby Jesus.
Parades and Festivities: In some regions, parades or processions are held to symbolize the journey made by the Magi. Children might also leave out shoes with wish lists for the Kings or grass for their camels.
On Three Kings Day in Venezuela, people often spend time with family and friends, sharing meals and enjoying the final festivities of the Christmas season. There's an atmosphere of joy and merriment as children play with new toys and families come together to wind down the holiday celebrations before returning to their regular routines.
