Los Reyes Magos traditions

Hide Letters in a Shoe
On the night of January 5th, children leave letters outside their homes inside an old shoe for the Three Kings to find. Historically, leaving a pair of old shoes for Jesus was a good deed that was rewarded by gifts from the Three Kings.
Find the Baby Inside Rosca de Reyes
Rosca de Reyes, a delicious crown shaped donut-shaped cake made of sweet bread and decorated with dried fruits, hides a big surprise inside: a tiny baby Jesus doll. The one who finds it, makes tamales in Candelaria, Feb 2nd.
Open Gifts
On the morning of January 6th, children wake up very early so they can open their gifts and give thank to the Three Kings. If they’ve been well behaved, the gifts will be good; if they’ve been naughty, they might just get rocks!
