Today in Poland people celebrate Three Kings’ Day (Epiphany), one of the most important Christian holidays and a public day off.
The holiday commemorates the biblical story of the three wise men — Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar — who came to honor the newborn Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
✨ On this day, chalk, incense and holy water are blessed in churches, and many families write C + M + B above their doors as a symbol of blessing and protection.
🎭 Colorful Three Kings’ parades take place in many Polish cities, creating a joyful and family-friendly atmosphere.
This holiday symbolically marks the end of the Christmas season and reminds us of faith, hope and unity.
