The Three Wise Men and the End of the Christmas Season
On January 6, the Feast of the Three Kings , the Christmas season reaches its festive climax. It is the day when the kings Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar symbolically arrive at the manger to honor the baby Jesus with their gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This moment is reenacted in many households by placing the kingly figures in the manger.
The Entry of the Three Kings
On this day, the king figures find their place next to the Holy Family in the nativity scene. With their elaborate garments and richly detailed designs, they are truly eye-catching. The figures of the Three Wise Men from our range perfectly capture this festive atmosphere. They are available in both traditional and modern designs and can transform your nativity scene into a unique ensemble.
How long will the crib stay up?
Traditionally, the nativity scene remains in place until the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord —also known as Candlemas—celebrated on February 2nd . This marks the end of the Christmas season, and the nativity figures are carefully stored away for the following year. For many families, this is an emotional moment, as the nativity scene is a symbol of contemplation, peace, and the values of the Christmas season.
Care and storage of your nativity figures
To ensure your figurines retain their beauty for many years to come, careful care is crucial. Our high-quality nativity figurines are made of durable wood and are often hand-painted, making them small works of art. Make sure to store them in a dry, dust-free place to avoid damage.
