Epiphany Eve


There are lots of very excited children around this evening. The Three Kings arrived in the village earlier and rode their camels to the Church Square. Every child in the village was called out by name and given a present.........it's so sweet!

Before they all go to bed tonight they have to leave some food for their favourite King and a little water for his camel. If they've been good they will receive more gifts. It seems they have to leave their shoes outside so that either, Gaspar, Melchior or Balthazar know where they are. For more info have a look at :-
