"Los Magos" is a special day celebrated on January 6th in many Spanish-speaking countries, also known as "Three Kings Day." It marks the end of the Christmas season and honors the three wise men who visited baby Jesus with gifts. On this day, children often receive presents, similar to Santa Claus on Christmas. Families might enjoy a special cake called "Rosca de Reyes," which has a tiny baby Jesus figure hidden inside. Whoever finds the figure in their slice gets to be the "king" or "queen" for the day and might have to host the next party!
How to celebrate Los Magos?
On Los Magos, wake up early and check for presents left by the wise men. Enjoy a fun breakfast with family, maybe with a special bread called "Rosca de Reyes." Spend time playing with your new toys and share them with your friends. You can also dress up as one of the magi in a costume or help your parents set up decorations that celebrate the day. Spend the afternoon with family, telling stories, singing songs, or watching movies about the wise men. End the day enjoying a delicious dinner together, feeling happy and grateful for the special time.
