Celebrating Día de los Reyes with a Rosca de Reyes

Today we celebrate Three Kings Day! ???????????? Three Kings Day (Día de Los Reyes), or the Feast of Epiphany in the Catholic tradition, is a holiday that commemorates the day the three wise men — Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar — arrived with gifts for baby Jesus. Popular traditions during the holiday include gift-giving, large feasts and indulging in King Cake or Rosca de Reyes. King Cake is most often associated with Mardi Gras but is also eaten in honor of Epiphany. Louisiana-style king cakes consist of a cakey bread dough twisted into a ring and decorated with icing and colored purple, green and yellow sprinkles.
