Día de los Reyes, or Three Kings' Day, is celebrated on January 6. It marks the day when the three Wise Men, or Kings, visited baby Jesus, bringing gifts. In many Spanish-speaking countries, kids look forward to this day just like Christmas. The night before, children leave out shoes and sometimes hay or grass for the Kings' camels. In the morning, they find presents left by the Wise Men. Families often gather to enjoy a special almond cake called Rosca de Reyes, which has a tiny figure of baby Jesus hidden inside. It's a fun and magical day for everyone!
How to celebrate Dia de los Reyes?
Celebrate Dia de los Reyes by spending time with family and friends. Start the day by finding a small gift or candy hidden in your shoes. In the afternoon, bake or buy a special cake called "Rosca de Reyes," which has a little figure hidden inside. Share this cake with everyone, and if you find the figure in your slice, you get to be the "king" or "queen" for the day! Enjoy singing songs, playing games, and maybe even dressing up like the Three Kings. At night, watch fun movies or tell stories together to end the day happily.
