Three Kings Day or Epiphany, celebrated by Roman Catholics on January 6, is the culmination of the 12 days of Christmas. It’s known as the day the three wise men saw baby Jesus and brought him gifts of frankincense, gold, and myrrh. To get into the spirit of the jolly Three Kings Day this year, here is a recipe for yummy Brigadeiros treats to brighten the day and remember the holiday’s roots.
