5 January 2026

On January 5, 2026, in Mexico City, Mexico, canine units from the Secretariat of Citizen Security and the Bank Police help the Three Wise Men receive letters written by children for Three Kings Day, celebrated on January 6. According to tradition, the Gospel of Matthew mentions that some ''wise men'' who come from the East are guided by a star to worship a newborn baby. The names Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar first appear in a 6th-century mosaic in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy. According to a 13th-century manuscript, the Three Wise Men are believed to protect against epilepsy, and it is said that simply whispering a short prayer in the ear of a sick person, pronouncing the names of the Three Kings, is enough to cure them. In some parts of Europe, on January 6, the initials GBM are inscribed on all the doors of houses and stables to safeguard people and animals against supposed attacks by demons, witches, and evil spirits.

29 December 2025

Demonstrators hold up signs featuring the portrait of Ahmed Najib Chebbi with text in Arabic, ''Release Ahmed Najib Chebbi,'' as they participate in a rally that brings together relatives and members of the National Committee in Support of Political Prisoner Ahmed Najib Chebbi. The rally is organized outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 29, 2025. Participants aim to express solidarity with the imprisoned prominent opposition figure Ahmed Najib Chebbi (or Ahmed Nejib Chebbi) as the court holds a hearing to examine an objection to the 12-year prison sentence issued against him in absentia in the case known as ''conspiracy against state security.'' Chebbi, 81, boycotts both the first-instance and appeal court hearings, denouncing what he describes as an ''unfair trial, unjust sentence, and unlawful detention.'' Most defendants in the case, including him, refuse to appear by videoconference, as ordered by the judge.
