Epiphany, on 6 January, marks the visit of the magi to Bethlehem - the first time that Jesus was revealed to non-Jews. In Spain, children believe that the magi come to give them presents. They put out fruit and nuts for "the magi", who leave behind gifts for well-behaved children and sweets that look like coal for those who have misbehaved.
