Three Kings refers to the biblical figures of the Magi or Wise Men mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Traditionally, they are believed to have visited Jesus shortly after his birth, guided by a star to present gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These gifts symbolize Jesus’ royal status, divinity, and humanity, respectively. In Western Christianity, the feast of the Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, commemorates the visit of the Three Kings, marking the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles. The narrative and significance of the Three Kings have also been integral in various cultural traditions and celebrations, particularly in Latin American and European countries, where they are often associated with festive observances and the exchange of gifts similar to that of Christmas. The term “Three Kings” can also encompass various adaptations and interpretations in art, literature, and folklore, symbolizing the broader themes of honor, humility, and the acknowledgment of Jesus’ significance across different cultures.
