Happy Epiphany or Happy 3 Wise Men to those who celebrate this.
Christmas is not over until the 3 Wise Men visit The Child, this is customary in all spanish speaking countries on the Eve of January 6 all kids collect grass for the camels of the Wise Men and leave them under the beds. The Next day the kids wake up to receive their gifts, much like Santa. This is a national holiday much celebrated like Christmas. So I give my happy blessings to all of you on this day. Another lovely tradition that I’m proud of. 😀
Epiphany
Epiphany (Greek epiphaneia, “appearance”), feast celebrated on January 6 by the Anglican, Eastern, and Roman Catholic churches. The feast originated, and is still recognized in the Eastern Church, as the anniversary of the baptism of Christ. In the Western churches, Epiphany commemorates principally the revelation to the Gentiles of Jesus Christ as the Savior, as portrayed by the coming of the Three Wise Men (see Matthew 2:1-12). In both the Eastern and Western churches the feast secondarily commemorates the marriage at Cana (see John 2:1-11), at which Christ performed his first miracle. Epiphany, known to have been observed earlier than AD 194, is older than Christmas and has always been a festival of the highest rank. The eve of Epiphany is called Twelfth Night, and the day itself is sometimes referred to as Twelfth Day. In England, the sovereign commemorates the day by offering gold, frankincense, and myrrh at the altar in the Chapel Royal, at Saint James's Palace. In the Eastern church, at Epiphany, the holy water is blessed, a ritual customarily taking place on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter) in the Roman Catholic church.
