January 6th is 3 Wise Men day in Mexico, known in Spanish as el Día de los Reyes Magos or El Día de Reyes and it is a tradition to eat “Rosca de Reyes”.
When Christians commemorate the arrival of the Magi or “Wise Men” who arrived bearing gifts for the Christ Child.
The word Epiphany means revelation or manifestation and the holiday celebrates the revelation of the baby Jesus to the world.
Dia-de-reyes-nacimientos-guadalajara, Rosca de Reyes
In Mexico, children receive gifts on this day, brought by the three kings, known in Spanish as los Reyes Magos, whose names are Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar.
Arrival of the Magi
In the days preceding Three Kings Day, Mexican children write letters to the three kings requesting a toy or gift that they would like to receive.
Sometimes the letters are placed in helium-filled balloons and released, so the requests reach the kings through the air.
Traditionally children would leave out their shoes. When the children would wake up in the morning, their gifts appeared in place of the hay. Nowadays, like Santa Claus, the Kings tend to place their gifts under the Christmas tree.
Shoes under the Christmas tree, Rosca de Reyes
You may see men dressed up as the three kings posing for photos with children in Mexican town squares, parks, and shopping centers.
On the night of January 5th, the figures of the Wise Men are placed in the Nacimiento or nativity scene.
Los 3 Reyes Magos “Wise Men” Rosca de Reyes
On Kings Day it is customary for families and friends to gather to drink hot chocolate or atole (a warm, thick, usually corn-based drink).
The person who finds the figurine is expected to host a party on Día de la Candelaria (Candlemas), celebrated on February 2nd, when tamales are customarily served.
Is a sweet bread, which is a special food for Three King’s Day.
“Rosca” means wreath and “Reyes” means kings, so a direct translation of Rosca de Reyes would be “Kings’ Wreath”.
The sweet bread is shaped in the form of a wreath and usually has candied fruit on top, and a figurine of a baby baked inside.
Usually, each person cuts their own slice and the one who gets a piece of Rosca with the baby figurine is expected to host a party on Día de la Candelaria, which is celebrated on February 2nd.
Rosca de Reyes with a figurine of a baby inside
On that day, the traditional food is tamales.
Nowadays bakers tend to put several baby figurines in the Rosca, so the responsibility for making the tamales can be shared among several people.
Symbolism
Refers of the Biblical story of Mary and Joseph’s flight to Egypt to protect the infant Jesus from the slaughter of the innocents.
However, the shape of the Rosca symbolizes a crown, in this case, the crown of King Herod from whom they were trying to hide the infant Jesus.
The dried fruit placed on top are jewels on the crown.
The figurine in the Rosca represents baby Jesus in hiding.
Finally, the person who finds the baby Jesus is symbolically his godparent and must sponsor the party when he is taken to the temple to be blessed, celebrated as Día de la Candelaria, or Candlemas, on February 2nd.

Let’s talk about a day full of excitement, wishes, and traditions in México´s Nochebuena (“New Year’s Eve”). December 31st is a big deal in Mexico, and people like to get together with family and friends to celebrate the year-end. Fireworks, grapes, sparkling wine, hugs and traditional music.
Guadalajara, Downtown
Before midnight, Mexicans like to have a big dinner, similar to Christmas, with the whole family. The most traditional dish is Bacalao, dried salted coldfish, cooked with tomatoes and olives. In Mexico, no New Year’s Eve dinner is complete without it!
Perhaps the most popular New Year’s Eve tradition is to eat 12 grapes in 12 seconds. The grapes represent the 12 months of the year. It’s said that if you manage to eat all the grapes in 60 seconds your 12 wishes will come true and you will have good luck throughout the upcoming year.
Guadalajara, Jalisco
Other people concentrate on their 12 New Year’s resolutions, because it’s said that if you think about your goals while eating the grapes you will succeed in accomplishing all of them. Be careful not to choke!
On New Year’s Eve at midnight, take empty suitcases for a walk outside; encircle the house or walk around the block for the distance to be traveled next year. Another option is to gather the suitcases in the center of a room, and walk around them several times.
Agave Fields Tequila, Jalisco
Both music and dance are an integral part of Mexican culture. Mariachi music is probably the best-known and most important form of music in Mexico. A modern mariachi group includes several specialized instruments; players perform wearing costumes called “charro.”
