Since the children and adults in the audience are looking in multiple directions, this photograph was perhaps taken either before the Three Kings' Day performance or during an intermission. The man standing in the aisle, on left, is waving his arms trying to get attention. Beginning in 1977 through 1989, La Alianza Hispana hosted a Three Kings' Day celebration, an important religious holiday for Latinos generally observed on January 6, twelve days after Christmas. The event was administered annually by Youth Development Unit of La Alianza Hispana. The Three Kings' Day celebrations at La Alianza Hispana included a reenactment of this event, sometimes with a pageant, party, and gifts.

Donated by La Alianza Hispana.

This project was partially funded with federal assistance from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
