Celebration of Three Kings Day
Three Kings Day, or ”El día de los Reyes," is celebrated in many parts of the world. The 12 days of Christmas lead up to this day, and it marks the day on the Christian calendar when the three kings brought gifts to baby Jesus. Many Hispanic communities in the U.S. celebrate Three Kings Day with many different traditions including parades and performances.

Traditional “Rosca de Reyes”
Traditionally baked round as an allusion to a King's crown, the Rosca de Reyes (or Kings' Bread) is a staple of the holiday. Hidden within the sweet bread is a "baby Jesus" figurine -- the individual who finds the toy in their slice must then prepare tamales for everyone on the Day of the Candles, which is celebrated on February 2.

Grass For The Camels Many families leave a box of grass (or hay) and water for The Three King's camels to eat, similar to the tradition of leaving out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. Camels are known for being a bit sloppy and leaving a trail of hay behind that children can often follow to their gifts!

La cena - Dinner Hispanic families will usually celebrate Three Kings Day with a scrumptious dinner that is topped off with the King's Bread (Rosca de Reyes) for dessert. Children also sometimes make crowns to wear at the table in honor of the kings.
