Families marked Three Kings Day on Tuesday with religious traditions and the popular Rosca de Reyes cake, honoring the visit of the Three Wise Men to baby Jesus.<\/p>\n
SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Communities across San Antonio are celebrating Three Kings Day on Tuesday, a holiday deeply rooted in Christian and Hispanic traditions.<\/p>\n
Also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, the holiday is observed every January 6 and commemorates the biblical story of the Three Wise Men visiting Jesus 12 days after Christmas, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.<\/p>\n
One of the most recognizable traditions of the day is the Rosca de Reyes, a sweet, ring-shaped cake decorated with colorful fruit. Inside the cake is a small figurine representing baby Jesus.<\/p>\n
At Bedoy Bakery, workers were up early Tuesday morning baking Rosca de Reyes alongside their regular pastries to meet the holiday rush.<\/p>\n
Those who find the baby Jesus figurine in their slice are expected to host a gathering on Candlemas Day, February 2, a tradition similar to finding the baby in a Mardi Gras king cake. While it comes with responsibility, many also consider it a sign of good luck.<\/p>\n
Other Three Kings Day traditions include parades and exchanging gifts with loved ones, especially children.<\/p>\n
For many families, the holiday is a meaningful reminder of faith, culture and community, best celebrated with cake and time together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Families marked Three Kings Day on Tuesday with religious traditions and the popular Rosca de Reyes cake, honoring…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":496512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-496511","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115848271854256790","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
