It is a national holiday, and the news will cover celebratory events throughout the day across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are at home, you will most likely eat rosca de reyes, a sweet bread inside of which is a plastic baby Jesus. Whoever finds the baby Jesus will be tasked with hosting the family Three Kings Day celebration next year\u2026or with cooking the tamales for everyone on February 2 (Candelaria Day). The bread often has cherries, guava, or other dried fruits to represent the gifts brought by the kings to the baby Jesus. It is baked in a round to symbolizing God\u2019s never-ending love. An Americanized version, the King Cake, usually is brightly colored and filled with cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many Latin cultures, children wait to open gifts on Three Kings Day, reflecting a tradition that the three kings \u2013 the magi \u2013 the wise men \u2013 brought gifts to the infant Jesus and not Santa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">January 6 marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas. It is Three Kings Day or the Feast of the Epiphany as most Lutherans know it. It is a day to celebrate! (Now where am I going to find a plastic baby Jesus today?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Jen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Three Kings Day (El Dia de los Reyes).
