About this holiday
Epiphany on January 6 marks the visit of the Magi (Three Kings) to the infant Jesus — the traditional end of the twelve days of Christmas. In Spain and Latin America, Epiphany (Día de Reyes) is more important than Christmas Day itself, with children receiving gifts from the Three Kings rather than Santa Claus. In Italy, the kindly witch La Befana visits children overnight, leaving sweets for the good and coal for the naughty.
