This will be the 17th procession from the Archbishopric Palace to Loretánské Square, where the Three Kings will be met by the Holy Family. The kings will bow before little Jesus and will give him their presents: gold, incense and myrrh.
Bring presents
This is also where the Three Kings will convey the message to all the people present, the whole city and the world. The procession is organized by Identes missionaries, Roman Catholic parish of the Nativity of Virgin Mary in Prague, Michle and Prague Archdiocese Charity. All children and their parents are welcome. Children will have the opportunity to get closer to the Three Kings and the Holy Family to have a look at them, say hello and leave presents for children in need. The following day, on 6th January, the presents will be given by the Three Kings to sick children in Motol Hospital.
Three Kings Collection
The procession is part of the Three Kings Collection which started on 2nd January in the Archdiocese of Prague and lasts until 10th January. The collectors wear the charity signs and collect presents to help the weak.
