Araw ng Tatlong Hari 2009

The Feast of Epiphany marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas. In the Philippines, this day is on January 6 and is called Araw ng Tatlong Hari (Day of the Three Kings), after the magi or wise men who visited the Christ child bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. In the Spanish-speaking parts of the world, they are known as Los Reyes Magos de Oriente or Los Tres Reyes Magos.

Filipinos also recognize this day as Pasko ng Matatanda (Christmas of the Elderly), a day on which to honor senior citizens.
