Epiphany

Epiphany is January 6th - the celebration of the three wise men's arrival. In many Hispanic communities, a "Rosca de reyes" (King's cake) is served. In the cake, a plastic figure of the baby Jesus is hidden, representing the flight of Jesus, fleeing from King Herod's evil plan to kill all babies that could be the prophesied messiah. Whoever finds the baby Jesus figurine is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2, and In the Mexican culture, this person also has to throw a party and provide tamales.
