Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, originates from the Christian tradition celebrating the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus, as described in the Gospel of Matthew. This feast has been observed since at least the 2nd century, but it became more formalized in the Western Church by the 4th century. The date, January 6, was chosen to coincide with the end of the Christmas season, marking the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles. In various cultures, it has evolved into distinct celebrations, including the popular festivities in Latin America and Spain.
