In the Central Valley, families are gearing up to commemorate Three Kings Day, or Día de los Reyes. This significant Catholic celebration marks the arrival of the Three Kings to see the newborn Jesus.
Enjoying Rosca de Reyes Traditions
An essential part of the festivities is the Rosca de Reyes, a delicious oval-shaped sweet bread. This bread is not just a dessert; it carries deep cultural significance. Many families look forward to sharing this treat during their celebrations.
Local Bakery Preparations
BakeryCafe Oaxaca in Clovis is actively preparing numerous orders for the upcoming holiday. The bakery’s manager, Rosi Garcia, emphasizes the importance of this tradition for the local community. “It means so much more; they are coming out here and getting the rosca from us. We are seeing customers who enjoy it,” Garcia stated.
- BakeryCafe Oaxaca is open every day.
- The bakery emphasizes freshness and high-quality ingredients.
- Each Rosca de Reyes contains a hidden baby Jesus figurine.
Finding the figurine in your slice is significant. The person who discovers it is responsible for hosting a celebration later in the year, adding a fun twist to the tradition.
For many families in the Central Valley, indulging in Rosca de Reyes is more than just a ritual; it’s a way to connect with their heritage and community during this joyful time of year.
