Every year on January 6, Día de los Reyes Magos is celebrated by many Christians in many countries. The day is also known as Epiphany or Three Kings Day. It's actually one of the oldest festival days of the Christian church along with Easter and Christmas. It celebrates the day that the Magi, or three wise men, gave gifts to baby Jesus in Bethlehem, which is why in countries like Mexico people exchange gifts on that day and also mark the occasion with all sorts of traditions that get passed on from generation to generation.
