Three Kings Day

 Enjoy my Scrapbook page celebrating the visit of the Magi


Three Kings Day or the Feast of Epiphany is the final celebration with which the 12 days of Christmas end on January 6. It is…



The holiday celebrates the biblical adoration of baby Jesus by the Magi or the three kings. According to the Gospel of Matthew, the men traveled for 12 days by following a star in the desert that led them to baby Jesus in a manger. The three kings represented Europe, Arabia, and Africa, and their coming together was symbolic of unity. The gold offered by one is an acknowledgment of Jesus’s royal standing. Frankincense points to the divine nature of the baby’s existence as the “Son of God.” And myrrh, which was used to embalm corpses, was a symbol of Jesus’ mortality and that later he would die to cleanse mankind of its sins.
