As is tradition in Mexico, January 6th marks the day of the Three Wise Men, the biblical characters who traveled from the east to worship the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. One of the fundamental characteristics of this celebration is eating the so-called Rosca de Reyes, an oval bread whose origin dates back to the Roman Saturnalia festivals.
Among the most traditional ingredients of the Rosca de Reyes are flour, butter, bread, egg, sugar, milk and quince paste. In the center, hidden figures of the child God are placed. According to custom, whoever encounters one of these figures must offer tamales to all attendees on Candlemas Day, which falls on February 2.
Although there is a traditional preparation of the king’s thread, the reality is that in recent years various pastry businesses have expressed their creativity, adding ingredients and innovating their design.
