Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6. It is a Christian holiday that commemorates the arrival of the Three Kings, Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar, to Bethlehem to visit the Child Jesus. Three Kings Day is a celebration that marks the end of the Christmas season and is celebrated in many Hispanic and Latin American cultures. It is a special date for the Christian religion, but it is also a fun and cheerful tradition that unites families. Some of the traditions that are held on this day are: • Giving Gifts to Children •Eat the Rosca de Reyes, a sweet bread in the shape of a crown that is covered with candied fruit and powdered sugar. In the thread is hidden a small plastic figure of the baby Jesus, and whoever finds it must organize a party. •Enjoy hot chocolate or atole, a traditional Mexican hot drink. • Cavalcades through the streets, with people in costume and with lots of music and dancing. • In some places, children place their shoes by the window or under the Christmas tree, leaving some food or water for the Kings and their camels.
