Members of Philadelphia's Latino community celebrated the Feast of the Three Kings with dinner and gifts at Concillio, the Council of Spanish-speaking Organizations, in North Philadelphia on Wednesday evening.
More than 300 children received brightly wrapped gifts from the three volunteer kings-for-a-night.
Concilio has been throwing a Three Kings party for many years. Board president Antonio Valdes says it's one of his favorite events:
"I particularly know, as I was growing up as a child, how much it meant to me because this day reminded me of my roots, of where my family had come from. It's not only a religious holiday but something that reminds us of who we are."
