Feliz Día de los Reyes!
Happy Kings Day from ÑañitasinNYC.
In several cities throughout the world this day is celebrated with a parade where the three kings; Melchor, Gaspar, and Balthasar bring presents to the children. It is tradition to eat a Rosca de Reyes (sweet bread ). A symbolic figurine of baby Jesus is placed in the candy coated bread which are suppose to resemble jewels. By tradition, whoever gets the piece of sweet bread containing the figurine is obligated to host “El Dia de la Candelaria”, which marks the end of the Christmas season. In some household whoever gets the figurine has to buy the Rosca de Reyes for the following year.
