The Three Kings: The
Day of the Three Kings is celebrated on January 6.
Since the Three Kings ride camels, the
night before Three Kings Day, on January 5th, kids leave their shoes
or an empty box stuff with straw outside their home so the camels have
something to eat. In the morning, the straw is gone and little toys
and candies are left in its place.
There is a special bread that is baked
for Three Kings Day called Marzan bread. This bread is shaped like a
crown. Each loaf of Marzan bread has a prize baked inside. Legend says
... Good luck will come to the person who finds the prize.
In some places, Three Kings Day is
called "Little Christmas", possibly because of the little
prizes that are found in shoes and in Marzan bread, on this day of
remembrance.
