El domingo pasado por la mañana, los Hispanos Católicos celebraron la Fiesta de la Epifanía en la Iglesia de San Nicolás (Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro) en Egg Harbor City, con los niños haciendo la representación de la visita de los Reyes Magos a Jesús en Belén, doce días después de su nacimiento.

Casi veinte niños disfrazados como los Reyes Magos con sus regalos de oro, incienso y mirra; Jesús, María y José; pastores con sus ovejas, para la obra de teatro que incluyó música y narración.

El día sirvió para que los niños pudieran entender la verdadera razón de la temporada.

“No se trata sólo de los juguetes y de Santa Claus”, sino del nacimiento de Jesús, dijo Kathy García, Coordinadora del programa de Educación Religiosa Hispana en Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro.

Después de la obra, los visitantes comieron comida tradicional Hispana, y los niños recibieron regalos pequeños.

On Jan. 3, Hispanic Catholics celebrated the feast of the Epiphany at Saint Nicholas Church (Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish) in Egg Harbor City, with children leading the re-enactment of the visitation of the Magi to Jesus in Bethlehem, 12 days after his birth.

Some 20 children dressed up as the wise men with their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh; Jesus, Mary and Joseph; shepherds, and their sheep, for the

skit that included music and narration.

The day helped children understand the true reason for the season.

“It’s not just about toys and Santa Claus,” but the birth of Jesus, said Kathy Garcia, coordinator of the Hispanic Religious Education program at Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

After the play, visitors dined on traditional Hispanic food, and children were given small gifts.
