Balthazar is one of the three Magi who visited Jesus when he was born. He and the other two Magi are celebrated in the Little Christmas tradition of the hispanic festivities. The other's names are Melchor and Gaspar. According to this tradition the visit was about January 5th or 6th. Santa Claus or Kris Kringle is more of a German and American tradition not so much embraced in the spanish and hispanic traditions.
