Los Reyes Magos
While most children in the United States are accus-
tomed to receiving gifts on Christmas Day, in many His-
panic cultures, it is Epiphany, or the Day of the Three
Kings, when gifts celebrating the birth of Christ usually
appear. On the night of January 5, hay and a bucket of
water are left outside the house for the camels who carry
the Magi. A box or old shoes are put under the bed in
which the Wise Men will leave gifts for the children. On
the evening of January 6 families gather for dinner, and
cut into the rosca de reyes, a ring-shaped sweet bread
decorated with candied fruit. Baked inside is a small fig-
ure of baby Jesus. Whoever finds the figure in his or her
piece will host the final feast of the Christmas season, el
día de la Candelaria on February 2. On that day new
clothes are presented to enrobe the figure of baby Jesus in
the Nativity scene of the family or the church. © Liturgical Publications Inc.
