Hace un par de semanas nos invitaron a comer la Rosca de Reyes. Una celebracion mexicana y espanola (creo) que se celebra para el dia de Reyes el 6 de Enero. La Rosca de Reyes es un pan dulce, ovalado, con forma de corona adornado con frutas confitadas. Dentro del pan se esconde la figura del nino Jesus. Se hace asi tradicionalmente como simbolo de cuando el rey Herodes mando a matar a los ninos y el nino Jesus tuvo que ser escondido. La Rosca de Reyes se parte y a quien le toque el nino Jesus sera el afitrion para la fiesta de la Candelaria que se celebra el 2 de febrero y hacer tamales para los invitados. Me gustan mucho los mexicanos , tienen tradiciones seimpre con espiritu muy alegres y familiares.
Una amiga muy cercana me dijo que deberia escribir mi blog tambien en Ingles, asi es que abajo esta la version en ingles.
I was told by a close friend that I should write my blog both in English and in Spanish, so here you are, the English version of this post...
Rosca de Reyes is a special sweet bread which is eaten on Kig's day, known as "Día de Reyes" in Mexico and celebrated on January 6. "Rosca" means wreath and "reyes" means kings. The bread is shaped in the form of a wreath and has candied fruit on top, and a figurine of a baby Jesus baked inside. The person who is served a piece of rosca with the figurine is expected to host a party Dia de la Candelaria, celebrated on February 2nd, where tamales a traditional Mexican dish are offered to eat.The Rosca de Reyes symbolizes a crown, and the dried fruit on top are jewels on the crown. The figurine hidden inside represents Jesus who went into hiding from King Herod.
I love Mexican celebrations. They are very happy and always family oriented.
