Three Kings Day is a Christian holiday that celebrates the day the three wise men brought gifts to the infant Jesus. Also known as Epiphany, the holiday is celebrated on Jan. 6, the 12th day of Christmas. It’s celebrated by many denominations of Christianity in different countries. Chicago’s Polish community celebrated the holiday with a multilingual Mass at St. Ferdinand Church and a parade on Belmont Avenue, followed by a second Mass at St. Ladislaus Church.
