In Spain, epiphany is the main Christmas holiday. Dia de Reyes or simply Reyes is the day when children in Spain receive gifts from the Reyes Magos-Wise Men or Magi—the three kings who brought baby Jesus gifts. Instead of gifts from Santa Claus, the children receive them from the Reyes Magos. This date commemorates the visit the Three Wise Men made to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. In Mexico, the day is a gift-giving holiday.
