Long ago in a faraway land, three wise men—Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar—embarked on an extraordinary adventure. Their task: retrieve the Royal Gifts designated for the King of Kings before the tyrannical ruler Herod takes them for himself!
With a mysterious map and bright new star as their only guides, the brave trio traverses the desert. Soon they are joined by new friends, Tobias, a handsome soldier, and Sarah, a beautiful, rebel warrior—who quickly develop a playful yet fierce rivalry. What this traveling “family” doesn’t know is that Herod’s evil counselor, Belial, is also secretly among them, conjuring deadly scorpions, vicious wolves, and even a giant dragon to destroy them!
To survive and face the challenges at hand, they must draw from each of their personal strengths and skills. Only then do they triumph—gifts in hand! And those are not the only rewards for through this journey Tobias and Sarah come to realize their true love for one another. And for courageously retrieving the gifts, the Three Wise Men receive a truly magical reward: for one day each year—January 6th, the twelfth day of Christmas—they are granted the power to make children’s wishes come true. Their grand adventure proves that, with a little friendship, goodwill and perseverance, anything is possible!
Millions of people from around the world commemorate the day on which the Three Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Baby Jesus. The Three Kings, Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar, followed a bright star to Bethlehem to celebrate the birth of the Destined King. This traditional Christian holiday is known as Three Kings Day, or Dia De Los Reyes, and the Feast of the Epiphany. Celebrated January 6th, Three Kings Day is also the Twelfth Day of Christmas – a tradition widely celebrated by the famous carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
