The Star Lights the Way as the Royal Emissaries Return to Duanes de la Mar
The Royal Emissaries will collect children’s letters on Saturday 3rd January.
The magic of the Three Kings is already in the air in Xàbia. As the long-awaited day approaches, the Star shines ever brighter, guiding Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar on their journey.
As tradition dictates, the Messenger of the Star’s Procession has once again announced the joyful news in Duanes de la Mar. This coming Saturday, January 3rd, the Royal Emissaries – Blue, Red, and Green – so closely linked to the town’s seafaring neighbourhood, will return to the port to collect letters filled with hopes and wishes from children and adults alike.
From 5.00pm onwards, the Star’s Procession will make its way through the streets of the port with the support of the Xàbia Port business association and the Colla Portitxol de Xàbia. Residents and visitors are invited to join the procession as it continues to the parish church of Nuestra Señora de Loreto, where all the letters will be received.
To round off the afternoon on a warm and welcoming note, the Fiesta Committee of Mare de Déu de Loreto will offer hot chocolate to all those attending. This annual event brings together tradition, community, and anticipation, marking the beginning of one of the most special moments of the festive season in Xàbia.
