La Cavalcata dei Re Magi - The Arrival of the Three Kings was held on the solemnity of the feast of the Epiphany, at the Victory Square in front of the basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady, Xaghra. During the event the Holy Family made her way to the parvis followed by five shepherds who paid homage to Baby Jesus. The Three Wise Men in oriental biblical outfits arrived on horseback accompanied by servants carrying the three biblical presents - gold, incense and myrrh. They paid homage to Baby Jesus and presented their gifts. The re-enactment, which started being held in 2010, was organised by the Ghaqda Il-Milied fix-Xaghra with the collaboration of the Xaghra Historical Re-Enactment Organisation, Xaghra Parish, the Xaghra Local Council and Christmas in Gozo under the patronage of the Minister for Gozo.
