Three Kings- 6th January

On January 6th we celebrate Three kings. It is the day when volunteers, usually children, dressed as three kings go carolling. They are sent by The Czech Catholic Charity and all the collected money is given to old, ill, lonely people or the people who do not have any home.
This charity event is very popular, especially in villages where there are more religious people, and the children write with white chalk on the door K+M+B 2007. The capital letters stand for the names of the three kings who came to little Jesus and brought him presents.

In Moravia this celebration is much bigger that in Bohemia. There are not only carolling children but also
adults dressed up as those kings riding horses or camels throught the villages.
