MILFORD, Del. - Approximately 50 local children gathered at Avenue United Methodist Church in Milford on Saturday to learn about the global traditions of Three Kings' Day, commemorating the arrival of the three wise men with gifts for baby Jesus.
Organized by The Culture Club PR, a multicultural club for children, the event featured diverse traditions from countries including Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Participants engaged in various activities, such as crafting crowns, making traditional king cakes, and preparing grass-filled boxes for the camels—all emblematic of Three Kings' Day.
Neyda Albarrán, the club's founder, shared her excitement, saying, "This is a magical time for Latin American [and] Hispanic children all over the world, and to be able to share that and have other kids participate in some of our traditions in Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. It was just exciting to see their joy."
The event's highlight was the special appearance of the three wise men, who distributed gifts and brought smiles and joy to the children's faces.
As the festivities concluded, The Culture Club of Puerto Rico is already looking forward to next year's celebration, eager to continue promoting and honoring the rich traditions of Three Kings' Day.
