King’s Cake: Celebrating Three King’s Day

Presenter Information

Elle GrafFollow

Proposal Description

My presentation is about Rosca de Reyes, or Three King’s Day, as celebrated in many Spanish-speaking cultures. I chose this topic because it reminds me of my Spanish classes in high school; we would always celebrate this holiday in class, and the cake was so delicious. In my poster, I explain what the tradition is, how Spanish-speaking cultures celebrate it, and the true meaning behind this annual tradition. This includes the day that it is celebrated and how the children put out their shoes filled with hay for the kings to place presents by. This tradition brings loved ones close together to remember the day when the Three Kings saw Jesus for the first time. Through this poster, readers will learn what Rosca de Reyes is made of, how the children were involved, and the story behind the tradition. Through this project, I have learned how Spanish-speaking cultures celebrate Christmas and what Three King’s Day means to them.
