Children greet the Three Wise Men in Madrid
STORY: Spanish children wait all year for this parade
where they get to see the Three Wise Men
The annual parade happens on January 5
the night before the holiday of Epiphany
which is when most Spanish children
receive their Christmas presents
It marks the day when the Three Wise Men are
said to have visited the infant Christ with gifts
The parade marches down Madrid's central avenue
while children use bags, pillowcases and even
umbrellas to catch as much candy as possible
