What is the day to take down the Christmas tree in 2022?

When the end of year festivities come to an end, you need to say goodbye to all the typical decorations. At this point, the question usually arises: what is the day to take down the Christmas tree 2022? We have prepared a guide on the subject, including step-by-step instructions and other rituals for the date!

When is the day to take down the Christmas tree?

There is no hard and fast rule about day to take down the Christmas tree 2022. Some people like to take down all the decorations in the house right after the New Year’s Eve party. But, according to Christian tradition, you must wait for Three Kings Day, celebrated on January 6th. The date recalls when the three wise men arrived at the birthplace of the baby Jesus, following the direction indicated by the star of Bethlehem.

In fact, it is because of them that there is a tradition of giving gifts during the festival. The Bible says that they took items to present to the baby Jesus’ family. Melchior had gold to indicate royalty and prosperity; Gaspar was responsible for the incense for the connection with divinity; and Balthazar granted myrrh in recognition of humanity.

Kings Day Ritual

Three Kings Day can feature several rituals in addition to dismantling the Christmas tree. Among them are spells with pomegranate to attract prosperity and prayer to ask for grace.

You will need:

9 pomegranate seeds

Way of doing:

On January 6th, go to a quiet place, take the pomegranate and remove the seeds. At this moment, envision prosperity in all areas of your life. Ask the three Magi (Baltazar, Belchior and Gaspar) to help bring health, love, peace and money in this coming year.

Keep three seeds in your wallet, which should only be removed on January 6th of the following year.

Swallow three seeds.

In an open place, such as a garden, take the other three seeds and throw them behind you while making a wish in faith.

Prayer to the Magi to achieve grace

“O most lovely Saints Kings, Balthazar, Melquior and Gaspar! You were warned by the Angels of the Lord about the coming to the world of Jesus, the Savior, and guided to the nativity scene of Bethlehem in Judah, by the Divine Star of Heaven.

O lovely Holy Kings, you were the first to have the good fortune to adore, love and kiss the Child Jesus, and offer him your devotion and faith, incense, gold and myrrh.

We want, in our weakness, to imitate you, following the Star of Truth. And discovering the Baby Jesus, to worship him.

We cannot offer him gold, frankincense and myrrh, as you did. But we want to offer you our contrite heart full of Catholic faith. We want to offer him our life, seeking to live united with his Church.

We hope to obtain intercession from you to receive from God the grace we so desperately need. (Silently make the order). We also hope to achieve the grace of being true Christians.

O kind Holy Kings, help us, support us, protect us and enlighten us! Pour your blessings on our humble families, placing us under your protection, the Virgin Mary, the Lady of Glory, and Saint Joseph. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Child in the Nativity Scene, may he always be adored and followed by everyone. Amen!”
