RNHA Celebrates Veterans Day

Lakeland, Florida – The Republican National Hispanic Assembly celebrates the Three King’s Day or El
Dia De Los Reyes Magos, which traces its roots to Roman Catholic Tradition. In the Catholic Church, the
6th of January is set aside to celebrate the coming of the three magi to offer gifts to the new born King.
According to the Bible, the three kings set off following a star that foretold of the birth of the King of the
world. When the stars foretold the birth of a great King there was a set of kings who set off to offer gifts to
the King of kings. These kings came to King Herod and told him that they were going to honor the newly
born King. As the record goes, King Herod was very jealous and wished to destroy the infant Jesus.
Herod asked the Magi to go and find the baby Jesus and to return to him and let him know where he
might also go and pay tribute to the King.

RNHA Chairman Alci Maldonado released the following statement, “What is so very significant about
celebrating the Christmas season is that you stay focused on what the season is really about. As the
Hispanic community celebrates Three Kings Day, I extend my very best wishes as the closing of
Epiphany is observed and celebrated. Epiphany is a time to reflect upon God’s guidance and
manifestation within our lives.”
