Three Kings Day (Día de los Reyes) is always celebrated 12 days after Christmas on Jan. 6. Traditionally in Latin America, Three Kings Day was the gift-giving time, rather than Christmas day. Just as it is common for children to leave cookies for Santa in the U.S., in some countries, it was customary for children to leave their shoes out on the night of Jan. 5, often filling them with hay for the camels, in hopes that the Three Kings would be generous. Latin American children would awake on Jan. 6 to find their shoes filled with toys and gifts.A popular tradition practiced on Three Kings Day is serving the Rosca de Reyes – a crown-shaped sweet bread decorated with candied fruits to resemble jewels. Before baking, one or more tiny figures of babies – to symbolize the Baby Jesus – are hidden in the dough. Serving the Rosca de Reyes is a festive occasion, and groups of people, such as families or work groups, gather to partake in the sweet bread. Each person cuts his or her own slice.
HISTORY
According to the Biblical story, the Three Kings (or wise men or magi) – named Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar – presented the Baby Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
