The Three Kings have shaped the city's history for centuries. How did their relics find their way to Cologne? What do the three crowns on the city's coat of arms have to do with the Christmas story, and what treasures lie within the magnificent cathedral?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">On our walk through the festively decorated Old Town, we discover the origins of our much-loved Christmas traditions. Why do we decorate Christmas trees, put up Nativity scenes and light candles on Advent wreaths? What stories lie behind the Star of Bethlehem, Christmas pyramids and St Nicholas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">Nativity scenes hold a special place in Cologne. In a city that has been closely linked to the veneration of the Three Kings for centuries, every Nativity scene tells a story of its own.
