Tradition celebrated Three Kings' Day on Epiphany, January 6, although who knows what really happened...
According to the Gospel records the wise men came 'from the east' and the questions of Herod brought out the fact that Jesus may have been born around 2 years previously.

∙ 13y agoHistorians do not all agree on this matter. The most popular belief is that it took them 2 years to get to Bethlehem with their form of transportation: Camel and their own legs. They followed the star the entire time according to the historians and the record in the Gospels of the New Testament. You can read about it in history books for Christianity.

∙ 13y agoThere is no historical reference to the wise men, nor are they mentioned by Luke's Gospel, so we must rely solely on Matthew's Gospel for information about the wise men, but this Gospel does not say when the wise men began their journey or when they arrived in Bethlehem.
Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the world's Anglicans, has described the story of the three wise men as nothing but a "legend" and says there is little evidence that they existed. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) calls Matthew's story of the magi, or wise men, Christian midrash and says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi (wise men) were not actual people. If there were no wise men, or magi, then we can not say when they began their journey.
