Twelfth Night

The night of the 5^th to 6^th of January is Twelfth Night, and every year the Three Wise Men of Orient bring gifts to those children who have been good during the year. For that, during the Christmas, children should send a letter to the Wise Men with the gifts they want to receive and the merits that the have made during the year to deserve them. The Three Wise Men and their assistants, the pages, will carefully read the letter of each child and they will give him/her those gifts that they would think better for each child.

On December 24^th, after the birth of Jesus, the Magi, which came from the East, will follow the Star of Bethlehem that will guide them to pay homage to Jesus and offer him the following gifts: gold (as a symbol of kingship on earth), frankincense (as a symbol of deity), and myrrh (as a symbol of his future suffering and death).

And after paying homage him they would go towards to deliver the gifts to all children in the world.

As you can imagine, that night, the Magi have a lot of work, since they have to deliver many gifts for just one night, and despite being wizards, they appreciate a little help, so we have to put our shoes on the window so that the Magi and their pages can quickly find those homes with children who have asked gifts. As they would be tired, sure they appreciate that you leave a glass of water for them and milk for their camels.

So you know, write your letter for the Magi as soon as possible, and the night of January 5^th put your shoes on the window. Do not forget to leave something for them and their camels!

We wish you a magical Twelfth Night!
