Three Kings Event (Tres Reyes Magos)

[churrlo]

^__^ Oh! This is something of interest that I forgot to write about blaugh On this day we have this special bread called "Rosca de Reyes" or Kings cake! of cake associated with the festival of Epiphany in the Christmas season in a number of countries, and in other places with Carnival. (This is also given a lot in America on Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday)

In Mexico, and maybe elsewhere, there is a plastic baby Jesus hidden inside the cake to represent the Nativity, and whoever gets the baby Jesus gets the privilege to host a party on February 2nd (they must buy tamales traditionally), which is the Fiesta de la Calendaria or Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

*had kings cake for breakfast* I was a little surprised when I saw them at Central Market, lol. I always had them for Mardi Gras, not the epiphany. But I'm not going to complain. They're good stuff. heart
