Christmas

The gifts the Wise Men bring to children represent, in biblical scripture, the gifts the Three Wise Men brought to Christ. On the Evening of January 6, many families ear Rosca de Reyes and drink hot chocolate. Bakeries bake the plastic baby figurines into the Rosca. Depending on the tradition you follow, getting a plastic baby figurine in your piece of break could mean you’re lucky or it could mean you have to buy tamales for your family. Many Latino families leave their Christmas decoration out until after Three Kings Day, when the honor the Three Wise Men. The Star represents the star that the Wise Mean followed to find the baby Jesus. Many Mexican children put their shoes under the Christmas tree the night before Three Kings Day so the Wise Men know where to put their gifts. They have a night time feast and there is much dancing and celebrating in the streets of Panama.
