The Three Wise Men parade is a deep-rooted tradition in Palma de Mallorca and in many other Spanish cities.

It is one of the religious celebrations which are central to the identity of Spain. That most Spanish of all events, Semana Santa, is still so laden with emotion, that the suffering of Good Friday almost eclipses the Resurrection as a focus of devotion and celebration.
