| Hi Sazna,
The Epiphany.
Christian tradition tells us that Jesus was born on December 25,
but the Magi did not arrive in Bethlehem until January 6.
However, the Bible does not record what date Jesus was born and tells us that the Magi did not arrive until almost 2 years after His birth (Matthew 2:1-16).
According to the traditions of man, and not the Bible, January 6 is the Epiphany - sometimes called "Little Christmas" or "Little Epiphany" - and is the day the Magi met the newborn King and presented him with his royal gifts.
It is explained to children that, if you take down your lights before January 6, the Wise Men may not be able to find their way, even though all the Christmas lights in the world, combined, would not be as bright as the star God used to guide them.

Hope this answers your question
