The Three Wise Men have resigned: The Christmas story that thrills in Spain

A few days before the Epiphany, the news breaks: The Three Wise Men have resigned and will not come to Spain on the night of January 5 to 6. This is the original approach to the Christmas story that has gone viral in the last few hours.

The video, barely 5 minutes long, has been published by the NEOS Foundation, a Spanish civil organization that, after confirming the loss of Christian foundations in the West, seeks to propose a solid alternative based on the Social Doctrine of the Church.

The narrative explains that the Three Wise Men, who are celebrated in a very special way in Spain, where on the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord the houses are filled with gifts, go on strike.

This is the first time that their majesties “are not going to visit their favorite country” due to the “ambient atmosphere of tension”, as announced on television.

A boy named Mateo decides to undertake a campaign to demonstrate to the wise men of the East that, despite everything, there are plenty of examples of harmony and love in Spanish society that can change the minds of those who worshiped the Child Jesus in Bethlehem.

Thus, it compiles the testimonies of a couple married almost sixty years ago, a mother happy to have given birth to her son with Down syndrome, sisters reconciled after years without speaking, volunteers who help those affected by DANA in Valencia, etc

In a last message before Twelfth Night, Matthew tells them: “I ask you please to believe in us. I will continue to believe in you always.”

The video is spreading through social networks with the hashtag #YoCreo.
