The Three Wise Men Story
THE THREE WISE MEN STORY:
The figure of the "Three Wise Men" has a Christian origin.
They came to the Birth of Jesus. They take part in the Nativity together with Mary the Virgin, Joseph and Jesus.
The Three Wise Men came from Asia, Europe and Africa. They followed a star that drove them to the house of the Jewish King whose birthplace was Bethlehem.
The Three Wise Men offered Jesus gold, incense and myrrh. Their names were Melichior, Ghathaspa and Bithisarea.
Today is the "Three Wise Men " day in Spain. In our country, there is a tradition to represent them coming in their camels from the East to take presents to children who behave well.
[Good work. The manger is the place in the stable where the baby Jesus was put. The entire experience of His birth is called the Nativity.]

THE THREE WISE MEN STORY:
The figure of "The Three Wise Men" has a Christian origin.
They came to the Birth (normally you wouldn’t capitalize this; I assume you know this and are doing so for stylistic reasons) of Jesus. They take part (take part in what? You could say, “they were in the manger with . . .”) in the manger together with Mary the Virgin, Joseph and Jesus.
The Three Wise Men (I’M not sure you would want to capitalize this every time) came from Asia, Europe and Africa. They followed a star that (‘who’ is only for people) drove (‘led’ is better. ‘Drove ‘means that it impelled them; rather, they were following it) them to the house of the Jewish king whose birthplace was Bethlehem.
The Three Wise Men offered Jesus gold, incense and myrrh. Their names were Melichior, Ghathaspa and Bithisarea.
Today is the (I would give the Spanish name in italics and then the translation, e.g., El dia de los tres Mages (“The Three . . .”)) "Three Wise Men Day” in Spain. In our country, there is a tradition to represent (“represent’ is not exactly right – maybe ‘reenact’?) them as coming on camels from the East to take presents to children who behave well.
Vd. Escribe muy bien, Noelia. Es muy dificil escribir en otro idioma.
