1. Three Kings Parade

To say this Three Kings Day, we must first know the origin of this festival. The three kings of this festival refer to the three sages mentioned in the Bible who came to worship from the East when Jesus was born, namely balthasar, Gaspar and Merkel. Each of them gave a gift to the newborn Jesus.

This festival is very important for Spain. On the day of the festival, every city here will hold a grand and lively parade on the evening of June 5438+1October 5, which is very lively.

On the day of the parade, there will be floats carrying the three kings walking on the streets here. The float will sprinkle candy, which is a gift from the Far East. At that time, people will frantically grab these lucky candy floats.

Then, there will be many dressed-up elves, circus clowns, acrobatic performance teams on stilts and so on. There will be all kinds of interesting roles and activities in the parade!

Moreover, in addition, there is also a part of receiving gifts, which is the favorite part of children. On this day, children usually write down their expectations for the Three Kings a few days before the Three Kings Day. Then the "Three Kings" will quietly put the gifts in the children's homes on June 5438+1October 5.

In this way, children will receive their favorite gifts early in the morning. If you are not a good boy, all you get in the end is some coal candy, so be good!
