Is Three Kings Day religious?

I’m not Christan, or a theist, but I celebrate it. It’s like a second Christmas.

Is it religious? I presume so. It’s about those three kings that bought toddler Jesus presents, right?

Yes, the Three Kings Day is celebrating the visit of the Maggi or wise men who brought presents to Jesus. Check Mathew chapter 2 for details. The Bible doesnot say they were just three, but since there were three different type of presents the tradition was set about the number. Also the names omes from tradition because the Bible does not mention their names.

And you are right, they did not arrived by the day He was born. Jesus was a todler, less than 3 years old, when they arrived, and Joseph and Mary were at a house, not at the manger.
