Hello. Nope I had not heard of that one. I do know that the Greek Orthodox and the Russians celebrate Christmas later than Dec. 25th . For the Russians, it is on Jan.7th.

The Anglican (Episcopal in the U.S.A.) Church in the Book of Common Prayer has a service for Jan. 6th which is "Epiphany" in which the Collect (group prayer) and the Gospel reading ( from St. Matthew) both mention the Star and the 3 magi.
