January 6th, also known as Three Kings Day or Epiphany, was supposed to have been the day the three kings actually arrived in Bethlehem. It's the last day of the twelve days of Christmas and is extremely important in areas where Roman Catholicism is the prevalent religion (it's also the day Christmas is actually celebrated in the Russian Orthodox Church). It used to be more widely celebrated, but Epiphany and the Twelve Days of Christmas both stayed as more Catholic traditions and faded out where Protestantism became the dominant form of Christianity.
