After the visit of Santa Claus to Benitachell last 24th December, the town is getting ready to welcome the Three Wise Men -Balthasar, Melchior and Caspar- who will bring their gold, incense and myrrh.
The magi will arrive on 5th January at about 18:00 h. Then, the procession will start in Alicante Avenue and end in Town Hall, where they will be welcomed by the authorities and public figures of Benitachell.
There, the magi will go to the Town Hall terrace to greet all the attendants. Afterwards, they will head to the town’s Church to admire Jesus and tender their gifts: Gold, incense and myrrh. Finally, they will return to the Town Hall, where gifts will be handed out to the kids in town.
On Thursday 6th January at 18:00 h, The Three Wise Men will attend a religious service in honour of Jesus Christ. Once the service is finished, they will wave the people of Benitachell goodbye and depart until next year.
Any parents interested in getting the Three Wise Men to give their kids a gift can request it to the Three Wise Men’s helpers on 2nd, 3rd and 4th January in the Benitachell TeleClub, from 22:00 h, in Carrer de la Mar street.
