UPDATE: Families across the Central Valley are celebrating Three Kings Day today, January 6, with the beloved tradition of enjoying fresh Rosca de Reyes. This festive occasion, also known as Día de los Reyes, commemorates the arrival of the Three Kings to honor the newborn Jesus, and local bakeries are bustling with activity to meet the high demand.
At BakeryCafe Oaxaca in Clovis, fresh orders of Rosca de Reyes are flying off the shelves. Manager Rosi Garcia emphasized the significance of this celebration, stating, “It means so much more, they are coming out here and getting the rosca from us; we are seeing customers, and they do enjoy it.” The bakery prides itself on using fresh, high-quality ingredients to craft this traditional oval-shaped sweet bread, which is essential for the festivities.
Each Rosca contains a hidden baby Jesus figurine within the dough. Tradition dictates that whoever finds the figurine in their slice is tasked with throwing a party, making the event not only a culinary delight but also a community celebration. Families gather, share stories, and create lasting memories as they honor this cherished tradition.
The excitement is palpable throughout the Central Valley as locals prepare for their own celebrations. With bakeries busy fulfilling orders, this year’s Three Kings Day promises to be a heartfelt observance filled with joy and togetherness.
Residents are encouraged to visit their local bakeries to secure their own Rosca while supplies last. As the festivities continue, many are taking to social media to share their experiences, further enhancing the community spirit surrounding this important cultural event.
