Use this free printable manger scene as a follow up craft activity for advent devotions, praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary and countdown to Christmas. As the images in these free printables feature the Magi (three wisemen) this activity is perfect for Epiphany or Three Kings Day, celebrated on January 6. Many countries celebrate Christmas and Epiphany. In fact, in countries like Spain, Three Kings Day is the major gift-giving holiday. It is the Magi who are said, by tradition to bring gifts to children. And this makes sense as it was the wisemen who brought gifts for Baby Jesus.
