No Three Kings Day in Animal Crossing New Leaf?

[3DSfan134]

Wait, just what would Nintendo think that holidays that are celebrated in a different countries cannot be added in Animal Crossing New Leaf? Yes I do celebrate Three Kings Day but why not let this holiday in Animal Crossing Nintendo? How can this holiday didn't made the cut?

Because religious is controversial, there's no Christmas in AC but Toy's day, so you get the idea.

I know that Christmas in AC is called as Toy's Day but why not let Nintendo make some kind of name for Three Kings Day in AC:NL, maybe Three Villagers Day?

What even is Three Kings Day?

It's kind of hard to make three kings day not religious. It's a *very* specific holiday imho, and not one that's as universally celebrated as Christmas.

Basically it's the day where you celebrate the 3 kings (aka the Magi) who gave gifts to baby Jesus. Wikipedia to the rescue:

Epiphany (Koine Greek: ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation", "striking appearance")[1] or Theophany[2] (Ancient Greek (ἡ) Θεοφάνεια, Τheophaneia meaning "vision of God"),[3] which traditionally falls on January 6, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. Western Christians commemorate principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Baby Jesus, and thus Jesus' physical manifestation to the Gentiles. Eastern Christians commemorate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, seen as his manifestation to the world as the Son of God.[4]

e: I have to be honest, I'm genuinely unsure if you're just trolling or not.

In general, they really only do events that most people would be able to recognize in some way which is why I'm guessing this one wouldn't be done.

I agree with the other posters. Three Kings Day isn't even celebrated by all Christians. I am Christian, and although I am aware of Jan 6 as the day traditionally celebrated (and officially ending the 12 days of Christmas), I do not formally celebrate it. I think Nintendo has done a good job in choosing holidays, although I am not sure I appreciate the changing of names of all the Christian holidays and none of the secular ones, they are still there and available.
