Jean Claude Soulouque's Hand Made version of the Three Kings
A sculptural depiction of the Holy Family and the Magi in the stable in Bethlehem. Despite the widespread practice of Voodoo, Haiti's population is a full 90 percent Catholic and, in Haitian view, the two belief sets are not incompatible. Christmas is an important holiday, celebrated with gift-giving, dancing, feasting, and fireworks.
After Jesus was born, Wise Men came to look for Him, probably from an area which is now in either Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia or the Yemen. Although they are often called the 'Three Kings', the Bible does not say how many there were, or that they were kings. One theory is that they might have been Kings of the Yemen, as during this time the Kings of Yemen were Jews. Three is only a guess because they brought with them three gifts: but however many there were of them, they probably would have had many more servants with them.
