Three Kings day is one of the most popular celebrations in Puerto Rico. The carouse take place on January 6. All of the children gather grass and place it in a box at the foot of their beds, so that the camels of the Three Kings will have something to eat when they come to visit. The old tale says the Three Kings are in reference to the kings that went to visit Jesus when he was born. The three majesties gave him gifts then so they give the gifts to the children now. This holdiay is the spanish soeaking world's version of Christmas.
