Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar Hosts Sixth Annual Three Kings Celebration

The Three Kings Day event hosted by Abuilar remains one of the largest celebrations of the important Mexican holiday in Chicagoland, drawing support from important leaders and elected officials, including Lyons Mayor Chris Getty and Pastor John Harrell, co-founder of Black Men United and a candidate for the 8th Illinois House seat vacated by Le Shawn Ford.

On Tuesday, January 6th, Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar hosted his sixth annual Three Kings Celebration at his district office.
Over 300 children were present, receiving toys which were donated by Pastor Al from Toys of the Ark, Pastor John Harrell from Chicago’s New Hope MBC, and the Naranjo Foundation. 
Attendees also had the opportunity to drink hot chocolate, which was donated by Aracelis Bakery, and eat Rosca de Reyes, which was donated by Rincon Family Services. 
Partnering with Commissioner Aguilar were the Village of Lyons, Toys of the Ark, Pastor John Harrell, the Naranjo Foundation, and Get Covered Illinois. Also in attendance was Cook County Circuit Clerk Mariyana Spyropoulos and Lyons Mayor Chris Getty.

“I’d like to thank Toys of the Ark, Pastor John Harrell, and the Naranjo Foundation for helping make sure all children receive joy this holiday season. I am also so grateful for all our sponsors and partners for being on-site, making families’ holiday wishes come true while also distributing important information and resources,” said Commissioner Aguilar. 
“This is a wonderful time for residents to come together and celebrate our community and the things that unite us” 
Three Kings Day, also known as the Feast of Epiphany, celebrates the last of the twelve days of Christmas.  The holiday celebrates the biblical tale in which the Three Kings, or Three Wise Men, visit baby Jesus after his birth. 
In keeping with the Chicano culture of many 16th District residents, Rosca de Reyes, a sweet bread meant to represent a King’s crown that is a mile long, was also available for residents to enjoy.
