Three Kings Day holiday gaining ground in Central Florida

Santa may have hung up his snow boots for the season, but Christmas is not over for Hispanics who observe the holiday until the Three Kings come bearing gifts on Jan. 6.

The celebration, based on the Christian feast of Epiphany, is becoming more common in Central Florida, as Hispanics keep alive the customs of their countries of origin. Many won’t put out the Christmas lights or take down their trees until the Magi come by their neighborhoods.
