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.
