Reasonable people can differ over whether they are wise men or not, but three pols showed up to help Mission Hill families celebrate Three Kings Day yesterday, on the 12th day of Christmas.
Jan. 6 marks the day the three wise men arrived to bestow gifts on baby Jesus in Bethlehem.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez and Councilor Mike Ross put in an appearance at the MissionHillChurchParishCenter in Roxbury, where Sociedad Latina gathered Mission Hill families for a holiday feast, with a performance from the group’s Music Clubhouse and the story of the Three Kings presented by the non-profit’s youth group. Families received gifts - but not of gold, frankincense or myrrh - from community partners including the “Today” show, Aeropostale and SimmonsCollege in Boston.
