El domingo por la tarde, niños, familiares y amigos disfrutaron de la celebración del Dia de Reyes en Haynes Street House

Sunday Afternoon, Children, Family and Friends Enjoyed the Celebration of Three Kings Day at the Haynes Street House Courtesy of The Pensacola Voice Approximately 70+ children received gifts, toys and enjoyed food as young men garbed in robes depicted the Three Kings that came to visit the baby Jesus. Three Kings or Kings from the East were, according to Christianity, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of the Christian tradition. Western Christianity celebrates the Magi (three kings) on the day of Epiphany, January 6, the day immediately following the twelve days of Christmas, particularly in the Spanish-speaking parts of the world. In these areas, the Three Kings (“los Reyes Magos de Oriente,” also “Los Tres Reyes Magos” and “Los Reyes Magos”) receive letters from children and so bring them gifts on the night before Epiphany. In Spain, each one of the Magi is supposed to represent one different continent, Europe (Melchior), Asia (Caspar) and Africa (Balthasar). According to the tradition, the Magi come from the Orient on their camels to visit the houses of all the children; much like Santa Claus with his reindeer, they visit everyone in one night. In some areas, children prepare a drink for each of the Magi. It is also traditional to prepare food and drink for the camels, because this is the only night of the year when they eat.
