ENGLISH

On January 6 Mexicans get together to celebrate the Epiphany of the Three Wise Men who visited baby Jesus. In Mexico we eat a very large “doughnut” called Rosca de Reyes (Wise Men’s Bread). The meaning of this bread is the following: 1) Its’ round shape symbolizes God’s infinite love. 2) The fruit toppings represent the jewels in the crowns worn by the Wise Men which mean Peace, Love & Happiness.  Inside the bread there is at least 1 plastic “baby Jesus”. Whoever finds this baby becomes “Jesus’ Godfather” and must host on February 2 a “fiesta” with hot tamales as the main dish. It is said that those who are lucky to find the baby inside their piece of rosca-bread are people with a good heart who will receive blessings all year long!

ESPAÑOL

El 6 de enero los mexicanos nos reunimos con familiares y/o amigos para celebrar la Epifanía de los 3 Magos de Oriente que visitaron al niño Dios. En México, se acostumbra comer una rosca de reyes que simboliza lo siguiente: 1) el amor eterno de Dios representado por la forma circular de la rosca. 2) las joyas encontradas en las coronas de los reyes representadas por las coloridas frutas que decoran la rosca. Estas “joyas” son símbolos de Paz, Amor y Alegría. En el interior de la rosca suelen encontrase uno o más monitos que recuerdan al niño Dios que fue “escondido” para protegerlo de el Rey Herodes. Las personas que tengan la buena suerte de encontrar el monito dentro de la rebanada que reciban, serán bendecidos durante todo el año pues se les considera seres humanos de buen corazón.  Además deberán continuar con la celebración el 2 de febrero preparando unos deliciosos tamales. ¡Buen Provecho!
