Three Kings is a Catholic holiday celebrated on January 6 in honor of the three wise men—Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. According to the Gospel, the wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the newborn Jesus Christ.

In Belarusian villages, on this day, rituals of going around to each house and congratulating the owners took place. Several young children formed a group. The main characters in the group were the three kings, an angel, and the devil.
