Three Kings Day. I never heard of that before.
Why do people think there were THREE wise men? It’s “men”, so it’s plural, but there could have been as few as two or as many as hundreds. (There were three gifts.)
And the names ... There are no names given in Scripture. They’ve been made up, so names are just tradition.
They’re in nativity scenes, but they came long after Jesus’ birth. (Probably about two years later.) To His “house”, not manger. To see the “child”, not baby.
Tradition. Much like Adam and Eve’s “Apple”.
For the 3 gifts gold myrrh and frankincense
BTW today is my birthday so Iām Christmas shopping all day
77 today

Three Kings Day is observed by Catholic and Orthodox Christians. The Kings River in California got its name from Spanish explorers, who in 1806 camped beside it on Epiphany, so they named it the River of the Holy Kings. The river also gave its name to Kings County, Calif. through which it flows.
