Christmas

What can I tell you about the photograph I sent?

It’s a photo of me just having seen the Three Magi!!! I’m the child in the middle, and King Melchior holds my hand!!!!

I was born in April 1957 and the photo is from January 6, 1961, so I was almost four years old. On the left in the photograph is my brother, held by the right hand (he was still drowsy). But my expression was so surprised that I never forgot that moment. Since then maaaaany years have passed and it’s difficult to remember exactly what I felt at that moment. On the other hand, when I look at the picture today I feel all of my 52 years, you can’t imagine!!!

Many years later I learned that King Melchior was played by none other than my own father, accompanied by two of his friends who were Caspar and Balthazar, who had taken part in the ride of the Three Kings through a Spanish town and then decided to come and visit us.
