The Three Kings yesterday joined Għajnsielem parishioners for adoration, in an annual event recalling the visit of the three wise men to Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Meanwhile, a crowd gathered in another Gozitan village as three other Kings arrived with gifts for the newborn in Xagħra.
