Girls And Boys Deliver Letters To "Wise Men" In Mexico City
Dozens of families, along with their daughters and sons, are visiting the facilities of the Postal Palace in the Zocalo of Mexico City, to take photos with the Three Wise Men, Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthasar. They believe that the Star of Bethlehem will guide a response, which the Mexican Postal Service will deliver to their homes. According to belief, the Gospel of Saint Matthew mentions that ''wise men'' from the East are being guided by a star to worship the newly born king of the Jews. The names Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthasar first appeared in a 6th-century mosaic in the Basilica of Saint Apollinaris the New in Ravenna, Italy. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
