Phlem On Newborn's Chest, What To Do

The arrival of the Magi from the East

As elsewhere in Spain, so wait in the Catalan Tossa the children on 24 December at the Christ child, but on the evening of 5 January on the arrival of the Three Kings who bring the gifts from the Orient, which is in a way logical, since the newborn Christ child hardly even think about gifts.

in Tossa de Mar will therefore each evening of the 5th January, a big parade, the same design to the German carnival. With the arrival of the kings and their retinue sweets are thrown in all directions, picking up the children Tossa from the street. Since the move, in which more than 100 people are involved takes place in darkness, he is also accompanied by a torchlight parade, the the atmosphere of the "Orient" is amplified.

The parade ends up at the church of the place where present the numerous children Tossa their name to the kings - with the hope of course that some of the requirements are met the next morning, which of course is no longer the object of the Kings, but the parents in attack must take.
