Moreover, on January 6th, it is three kings day and during this, there are lots of festivals and parades. Día de Reyes is a special holiday that represents the Christmas season. January 6th marks the climax of the twelve days of Christmas and honors the three wise men who traveled from afar bearing gifts for the newly born baby, Jesus.

The tradition of Epiphany is to celebrated very seriously in Puerto Rico.
