NATIONAL CUSTOM
- The purpose of this article is to show you one of the most popular and followed national custom of Spain: “The Three Wise Men”.
- That is a real party for childhood.
- When parents, grandparents and relatives are involved in a fantasy world.
- The three wise men come from East with their magic at an exciting night.
- There are a lot of parades throughout Spain, in every city, town, village…the afternoon before “The Three Wise Men Day”.
- Every single family goes to “The Three Wise Parade” in order to shout and say hello to their favourite Wise Man, called Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar.
- Apart from that it is a colourful and beautiful spectacle.
- At this moment, children are worried about the letters sent by them asking gifts, furthermore they wonder themself if they have had a proper behaviour throughout the year before.
- The custom says that children must put cookies and milk in their slippers in order to feed the camels.
- This is the truth of it: It is the only night in which children want to go early to bed.
- When the morning arrives they get up early too.
- As you can imagine the exciting, amazing and happy day starts.
- They find their presents and coal in some few occasions, in fact sugar coal.
- Personally, I believe that it is a kind and friendly national custom.
