Video. COVID-19 rains on Spain's Epiphany parades

Updated:

COVID-19 restrictions mean the traditional parades in Spain for Three Kings' Day have been scrapped.

The Feast of Epiphany, or Three Kings' Day, is traditionally Spain's main festive holiday. 

It's when children who have been kind and well-behaved receive their presents brought by the Three Kings.

But this year, the COVID-19 restrictions mean the traditional parades have been scrapped. 

Instead, in Fuenlabrada near Madrid, a big canopy was set up so that children can see Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar from a distance.
