Christmas is celebrated in many countries around the world, and in some cultures festivities can go beyond December 25, like Three Kings Day, the day of the Epiphany on January 6.  Also known as Día De Los  Reyes in Spanish, the holiday marks the arrival of the Three Wise Men's visit to baby Jesus and it is celebrated across the globe by the Anglican, Eastern and Roman Catholic Churches.
