Celebrate epiphany the spanish way
Christmas is over and we have given presents to everyone we know. Time to rest from all the parties and big meals… or maybe not?! Did you miss any one? Relax, there is still time to surprise them following the Spanish tradition of giving presents on the night of the 5th January, when the Three Wise Men worshipped Baby Jesus in the manger.
When the Christmas lights are being taken down in the rest of the world, Spain awaits impatiently for Epiphany night. Every child wakes up to find their presents and the whole family gathers around the table to celebrate.
The Three Wise Men came from the East following the Star that directed them to Bethlehem. They brought gold, incense and myrrh with them – three precious presents. And that is how Spain adopted the tradition of giving presents on that day.
You can join in this wonderful practice, and write your letter to the Three Wise Men. They may bring you special gifts from Mariscal & Sarroca, like some wonderful extra virgin olive oil, or delicious Iberico ham or chorizo. The magic of the night will work wonderfully.
Don´t forget that you´ll always have us on our ONLINE SHOP to provide you some of the best gourmet foods from Spain.
We welcome you at any time!
