Who are they?

They are the three wise men who brought three gifts to little Jesus-gold, incense and myrrh. However, we still do not know if there were three and if they were kings at all.

Traditions and customs on Three Wise Men-On this day, water is holy in the church. In the past, people attributed her a great strength and power. Every member of the family drunk it to keep his healthy through the following year.

Chalk-similar protective abilities were attributed to Three Kings chalk. People believed that, if draw a circle with chalk, it will protect them from unclean and griping forces.

Prediction of the future-the future was predicted during the Three Wise Men evening. Who wanted to know what wait him, prepared seven mugs with witch hid various objects like(piece of coal, comb, baby figurine, money, piece of cloth and bread). Everyone then chose their mug, uncover it, and objects beneath mugs reasoned what wait them.

Objects-each of them represented something

• Coal: disease or death 

• Comb: lack of something 
• Baby figurine: childbirth 
• Money: wealth 
• Cloth: travelling 
• Ring: wedding 
• Bread: enough of everything

Snow-girls had been washing their body with snow before the sunrise, which supposed to guarantee them fresh and white skin.
