"We started to communicate to folks that this is more about the part of the tradition of Three Kings of giving gifts to the young people," said Jana Lynne 'JL' Umipig, El Puente's Director of Arts and Cultural Organizing and the director of the play. "Planting a Seed" focuses on three children unearthing the "significance of the seed," taking the audience on a journey of self-discovery and connection to the natural world around their neighborhood.
The tradition of the Three Kings, also known as Epiphany, dates back centuries and commemorates the biblical story of the Magi visiting the infant Jesus, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It is celebrated in many cultures worldwide, shortly after the holidays, as a symbol of giving, faith, and unity.
