The letter to the Three Wise Men It is one of the most beautiful traditions we have in countries like Mexico. Even reading our letters as children when we are adults fills us with tenderness: from seeing how our handwriting has changed and what, from innocence, we asked of Melchior, Gaspar and Baltazar.
These letters range from the simplest ones on sheets of paper with pencil or pen with not very legible handwriting to others with perfect handwriting with drawings, decoration and even a bonus such as food for the kings and their animals.
