"2"--- January 9, 2018---REYES MAGOS

Reyes Magos

This past week we celebrated Reyes Magos. Here, they have Santa Claus and the Reyes Magos. The Reyes Magos are the 3 wise men from the nativity story. Santa comes the 24th in the night and the Reyes Magos come the 6th of January. The point of the whole thing, is that they get double presents and have double fiestas. It is a good tradition. Also, on the 6th they make this bread that they call Rosca de Reyes. Its a huge circle that everybody shares. Each person cuts their own piece from the rosca. The people that cut a piece that contains a little plastic baby Jesus have to bring tamales for everybody on the 2nd of February. Im not exactly sure why, but all I know is that I have to bring tamales to everyone in our congregation on the 2nd.
