On January 6, Poland celebrates the Three Kings Day. On this occasion, many cities organize folk festivals. Local residents take to the streets, participate in theatrical performances on the birth of Jesus Christ and sing carols. The procession dedicated to the kings embodies the three continents: Europe, Africa and Asia.

It should be noted that the Three Kings Day in Poland has existed for a very long time. Until 1960, this day was a day off, but then the date was gradually forgotten. Only in 2011 the Poles again returned to their traditions. Today, during the feast of the Three Kings in Poland, everyone is resting again. Tourists need to keep in mind that on January 6, almost all shops and markets are closed. This day is considered the end of the Christmas week

The main heroes of the date are the New Testament wizards Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar. They went on a long journey behind the Bethlehem star, to which the choir of angels indicated to them. At the conclusion of their journey, the kings bowed to the newborn Jesus and presented him with rich gifts. In honor of this event, Catholics write on the doors of their houses the letters "K + M + B" and a year. Interestingly, the inscription is made chalk, which is consecrated in the church. Poles believe that the initials of the kings will save the house from misfortunes, and the family members from illnesses.
