Three Kings Day In Mexico
Figures of the Three Wise Men, Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, are standing outside a church in the Pueblo de los Reyes Culhuacan in the Iztapalapa mayor's office in Mexico City, touring several streets as part of the festivities for Three Kings Day in Mexico. According to belief, the Gospel of Saint Matthew mentions that some ''wise men'' from the East were guided by a star to worship the newborn king of the Jews. The names Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar first appeared in the 6th-century mosaic in the Basilica of Saint Apollinaris the New in Ravenna, Italy. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
