El Día de los Reyes—The Day of the Kings
5 Jan
The Day of the Kings, also know as Epiphany (January 6th)…
…is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. On this feast, Western Christians commemorate principally the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the Baby Jesus.—Wikipedia (Jan. 7, 2011)
In celebration of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ many children (mostly in Latin America, Spain, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Portugal) put their shoes or boxes under their beds or tree anticipation of receiving gifts such as trinkets, treats, and/or money from the Three Kings.
And maybe this year we’ll put out our shoes.
Though there are many customs associated with this day one of them we do is take down the last of the greenery and nativity scenes put up at Christmas.
