As some of us know the story of the three wise men Melchior, Gaspar and Baltazar begins in their journey to find the son of God, and they succeed thanks to chasing the star of Bethlehem, who guides them and takes them to the place where the just born Jesus is, with respect and veneration they take him some gifts including gold, frankincense and myrrh. These three magi wanted to see the one they call the King of the Jews, and bring them their wishes, when they saw him they knew he would change the world, and their gifts had a meaning for it.
Gold represents the purity and wealth that the child Jesus represents in this world, who is more deserving of this metal, the one that would change and last in time. The incense is a divine representation that is made to the gods, with a pleasant aroma, a gift worthy of a king. The myrrh contains a deeper meaning as it transcends his life as a child to an adult, which will live, die, but will return to us, resurrecting and showing the world the goodness and deep love for God his father.

The gifts and the presence of the magi themselves are a representation of what the child Jesus would have in this world and what would happen throughout his life, is the beginning of his journey to make himself known and undertake with the designs that God had prepared for him, is the hope that despite the bad times that may come he will change and save everyone for his infinite love. The three wise men wanted to show their deepest respect and humility before their king, as well as to support him in some way or another in this world to which he arrived.
The day of kings is a day in which not only the children can enjoy some gifts, most of them candy since they are simple representations but with affection that the magicians want to give, also the rosca de reyes is elaborated that represents the eternal love of God that has no beginning or end, an unconditional love that lasts for all the centuries, it is a moment to meet in family and enjoy it, remembering that God in spite of everything that happens in the world continues seeing how to guide and protect us, keep us safe and that we never forget his love and goodness.
