Feast of the Epiphany
Epiphany (Greek: επιφάνεια, "the appearance; miraculous phenomenon") is a Christian feast intended to celebrate the 'shining forth' or revelation of God to mankind in human form, in the person of Jesus. The observance had its origins in the eastern Christian churches, and included the birth of Jesus; the visit of the Magi, or Wise Men (traditionally named Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar) who arrived in Bethlehem; and all of Jesus' childhood events, up to his baptism in the Jordan by John the Baptist. The date of the feast was fixed on January 6.

January 6 is "El dia de los reyes" or day of the kings. January 6 is the holiday celebrating the biblical story of the three kings visiting the baby Jesus for the first time.

Jan 6 is the Epiphany, or El Dia De Reyes (Day of the Kings), when the wise men arrived in Bethlehem and presented the baby Jesus with their gifts.

El Dia de los Reyes.
Pretty big deal if you're a Hispanic Catholic.
Kids get a small gift that day.

January 6th is when, according to the bible, wise men continued their journey. Since most Hispanic countries are catholic it is a big deal.
