THREE KINGS DAY CELEBRATIONS

Insurrection deniers
now try to deny
our Three Kings Day

DEAR FRIENDS,
In response to my column on how the January 6 Capitol insurrection has stained the image of our Three Kings holiday, some insurrection-deniers are now claiming that it is no big deal, because, according to their twisted way of thinking, they either believe Three Kings Day is not really celebrated in the United States, or, even worse, that it is not really a Hispanic tradition. lol

I found those assertions so disturbed (and disturbing) that I created a new page to showcase our Three Kings Days celebrations - as a way of denying the deniers an opportunity to distort reality.

These events are still being held, in spite of Covid and mostly virtually, all over this country this year. They are happening in spite of the terrible damage caused by last year's insurrection, which turned a holiday into a day that will live in infamy.

Of course, since I had this idea, I have not stopped finding more and more activities throughout the country. It's wonderful! It makes me proud to be Hispanic!
Check it out, and please share:

Negadores de insurrección
ahora intentan negar
nuestro Día de Reyes

QUERIDOS AMIGOS,
En respuesta a mi columna sobre cómo la insurrección del Capitolio del 6 de enero ha manchado la imagen de nuestro Día de los Reyes Magos, algunos negadores de la insurrección ahora afirman que no es gran cosa, porque, según su retorcida forma de pensar, o creen que El Día de los Reyes Magos no se celebra realmente en los Estados Unidos, o, peor todavía, que no es realmente una tradición hispana. jajaja

Encontré esas afirmaciones tan perturbadoras (e inquietantes) que creé una nueva página para mostrar nuestras celebraciones de los Tres Reyes Magos, como una forma de negar a los negadores la oportunidad de distorsionar la realidad.

Estos eventos todavía se llevan a cabo, a pesar de Covid y en su mayoría virtualmente, en todo este país este año. Están ocurriendo a pesar del terrible daño que provocó la insurrección del año pasado, que convirtió un día feriado en un día que vivirá en la infamia.

Claro que desde que tuve esta idea, no he parado de encontrar más y más actividades por todo el país. ´Es maravilloso! ´Me da orgullo de ser hispano! Echale un vistazo, y compártalo:
