It is also believed that this period was determined on the basis of historical facts such as the census of the Roman government during the birth of Jesus and the death of Jesus. On January 6, an important festival of the name of the Epiphany is celebrated in memory of the events that led to the presence of kings seeking attention from the east and the Urchin.
