The three kings OR the three wise men??? (Los reyes magos)

 


Tonight's the night!!!

Vienen los reyes magos 😊😊😊

In English (especially British English) we normally refer to them as the three wise men and we don't get presents on the 5th or 6th of January. 

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about them in English:-

The biblical Magi[a] (/ˈm/ or /ˈmæ/;[1] singular: magus), also referred to as the (ThreeWise Men or (ThreeKings, were distinguished foreigners in the Gospel of Matthew and Christian tradition. They are said to have visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of goldfrankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition.

And what about their names???

Later tellings of the story identified the magi by name and identified their lands of origin: Melchior hailed from Persia, Gaspar (also called "Caspar" or "Jaspar") from India, and Balthazar from Arabia
