The sixth of January is what is know as Three Kings Day. When Jesus was born, three kings went to go see him each with a special gift for the baby.
Because they were wise men and saw his star in the East and followed it to Jesus' birth place.
Three Kings Day is a Hispanic holiday celebrating the visit of the wise men to see Jesus.
It is about the Magi who visited Jesus after his birth with presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Although the Bible does say how many there were and does not call them Kings, the tradition of Three Kings has arisen.
They were not kings.They were wise men.The king sent them to see and kill the new king who was to be named Jesus.
The Bible does not tell us their names. Nor does it say they were kings; we simply assume that they were of noble birth if they were trained as astrologers. The Bible does not even tell us that there were three of them - it only states three examples of the gifts. You can read the story in Matthew 2:1-12.
More than 1 king came to see Mary Jesus
When the three Kings saw the star, it was in the eastern sky. The Star of Bethlehem that announced the birth of the Christ Child is believed to have been the first comet of note.
No one knows their names, or if they were kings, or if there were three of them. All the Bible says is that "wise men from the east" came to see Jesus. Also, they came when Jesus was probably about 2 years old, and living in Nazareth. They were not present at the stable in Bethlehem at all.
Ah, what a lovely question. The three shepherds who went to see baby Jesus were named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. Just imagine the joy and wonder they must have felt on that special night. It's a beautiful reminder of the importance of spreading love and kindness to others.
Shepherds saw Him and when He was two or so the wise man or men came to see Him. It says in the beginning of Luke in the Bible
after he was born there was a big star three wise men went to give him beautiful stuff then everyone near there went to see him :]
