Los Tres Reyes Magos

Los Tres Reyes Magos



"Traditional nativity scenes depict three "kings" visiting the infant Jesus on the night of his birth, in a manner accompanied by the shepherds and angels, but this should be understood as an artistic convention allowing the two separate scenes of the Adoration of the Shepherds on the birth night and the later Adoration of the Magi.

Traditionally, Spanish speaking countries celebrate Christmas with this celebration on January 6. In Mexico, we celebrate with an especial bread called Rosca de Reyes.
Inside of the bread, we find a representation of baby Jesus on a plastic baby. 

The person that has the honor to get the baby on the piece of bread, must have a celebration on February 2 with tamales and champurrado, when baby Jesus and the nativity scene is put aside for next year to come.
