The third edition of Bethlehem f' Ghajnsielem will close on January 2, the Epiphany, with the Adoration of the Magi, as the Three Kings will travel all the way from the village of Mellieħa in Malta to Bethlehem f'Għajnsielem on horses.

The Three Kings will start their trip in Mellieħa's main square at 10 a.m. in the morning. After passing from the main streets of the village, the Magi will catch the 2.15 p.m. ferry from Cirkewwa. At 3 p.m., the Three Kings will depart from Mġarr Harbour via Mġarr Road and to the main square of Għajnsielem accompanied by the locals.

The three wise men will make the triumphal entrance to the nativity village, Bethlehem f'Għajnsielem, at 4 p.m. stopping at the grotto to present gifts to baby Jesus. This will mark the end of four weekends of animation and months of hard work.
