Epiphany in Croatia: A Day of Tradition, Reflection, and Public Holiday

Written by  Jan 06, 2025

Today, January 6th, marks Epiphany, a significant Christian feast day and a public holiday in Croatia. Known as "Sveta tri kralja" (Holy Three Kings) in Croatian, it commemorates the visit of the Three Wise Men to the infant Jesus, symbolizing the revelation of Christ to the world.

Across the country, Epiphany is a day of reflection and tradition. Epiphany also signals the end of the festive season for many, with Christmas trees and decorations traditionally taken down after this day. Being a public holiday, businesses and schools are closed, giving Croatians a chance to spend time with loved ones and observe this important cultural and religious tradition.
