One of the Residents in our department (of medicine) is originally from Puerto Rico, and he asked me if we were going to keep the Christmas decorations up until Monday (Jan. 5). When I asked why, he said that it's a tradition to keep Christmas decorations on display until after the first Sunday in January, or "Three Kings' Day".
I'd not heard of that before.
BTW, where in the Bible does it say that there were "three kings" or even "three wise men"?
