Here we are – it’s Kings Day – the holiday celebrates the biblical adoration of baby Jesus by the Magi or the three kings.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, the men traveled for 12 days by following a star in the desert that led them to baby Jesus in a manger.

The three kings represented Europe, Arabia, and Africa, and their coming together was symbolic of unity.

Gold offered by one is an acknowledgment of Jesus’s royal standing.

Frankincense – points to the divine nature of the baby’s existence as the “Son of God”

Myrrh, which was used to embalm corpses, was a symbol of Jesus’ mortality and that later he would die to cleanse mankind of its sins.

And so comes to follow – the celebrated King Cake.

In South America, this day is celebrated with a king cake for dessert called the “Rosca de Reyes.” The cake has a plastic figurine of Jesus hidden inside, and yes – whichever guest finds the figurine in their portion of the cake must make tamales for everyone on the Day of the Candles – which yes – takes place on February 2.

This tradition is followed by many families in Mobile and New Orleans – where the celebration began in the south – and for us to adopt.

So yes – as we travel the road with Jesus in our hearts and His ways as our mindset – may we all stay mindful to remember the true celebration of the season we are in – it doesn’t end on any certain day – it’s a celebration of heart that last a lifetime.

We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period.

Saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2
