Although we know the Magi, or wise men, were not kings and there were not necessarily three Magi, and that they didn't visit when the shepherds did, we enjoy a "reenactment," celebrate Jesus being revealed to Gentiles, and exchange special, often homemade, gifts with each other.

In 2006 we observed Three
Kings Day a little differently. We had a dramatic presentation of
The Clown of God, as
part of our worship.
Of course, at the end we eat and talk.
