Yes, George, it is a holiday in most of the Catholic Countries. The day of the Wise Men. "To the blare of trumpets" the Pope said "The Mass of the Epiphany" this morning at the Vatican. It is a big holiday in Italy. It is the day children in Catholic countries receive most of their gifts from the Wise Men.- not from Santa Claus. Many celebrate this day with a cake and buried in the cake is a tiny Christ doll. Whoever gets the tiny Christ doll in his piece of cake has to give a party. In a message dated 1/6/2011 6:57:29 A.M.
