Hi all welcome to this first contribution of 2010 and to enter the field and as promised in Travel & Vacation Network Radio Network, here are some of the tradition Rosca de Reyes.
First I'll talk about the tradition of the January 6, Three Kings Day is also known as Epiphany, to the Greeks were the revelations and epiphanies called miraculous occurrences in the New Testament God's presence is a Epiphany and respect to the entrance of Christ into the world, indicating its manifestation in the flesh. For Christian world there are three events known as Epiphany, Three Kings Day, St. John the Baptist in the Jordan and the miracle at Cana.
the ninth century the feast of the revelation of Jesus to the pagan world celebrated on January 6 is also alluding to the date on which the Kings or Three Wise Men is now known as Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar come from east following a star that led them to see the manifestation of God and worship Jesus. On arrival he was offered three gifts: gold (for being a king), myrrh (for being a man) and incense (being God), in return the Three Kings were joy, love and peace ...
is believed that the three kings represent Europe, Asia and Africa and came mounted on a horse, a camel and an elephant, or perhaps three camels.
According to tradition today, the children make a letter to the Kings the night before the Epiphany. In some homes people are used to provide food kings, sweets and wine and water and fresh straw for pack animals and in return the kings to take food and toys for the little left by way of gift as they did with the child Jesus.
In Mexico, children write a letter of request for toys and leave it with his shoe in front of the manger birth or tree Christmas, and so the Kings left the shoe toys with the children according to their behavior they had during the year just ended. It is also customary to send the letter attached to a helium balloon released into the sky children the night before the arrival of the Magi.
For January 6, Epiphany morning or evening it is customary to eat and share the bread that is shaped like a crown of king and we now know as the "Rosca de Reyes"
For January 6, Epiphany morning or evening it is customary to eat and share the bread that is shaped like a crown of king and we now know as the "Rosca de Reyes" Y from the subject of this rich bread, the thread is more related to the Romans and their god Saturn who is offered a "wreath" for that the Roman people could celebrate the longer days that came after the winter solstice, the Romans elaborated a cake with figs, dates (fruit of the desert) and honey that were distributed among the commoners.
Years later I introduced a bean and when handing out the thread whose turn it was the surprise, he was appointed as King of Kings in a short period in which the lucky pay a party.

This traditional shaped cake pan or thread became popular throughout Asia to Europe where he was welcomed as the thread mimics a real crown covered with candied fruit simulating the crown jewels ; in Thread hiding inside a surprise, sometimes of great value and who was the surprise should invite a large roscón or banquet. Rosca de Reyes
in some countries (Portugal, France, Spain) has a round crown and is known as "Roscón of Kings" in change in America in countries like Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico is known as Rosca de Reyes ".

In the case of Mexico the Rosca de Reyes is a tradition that came with the English and our adopted country and provided a special touch to enrich the tradition.
An example of this is that an oval is drawn together and several guests of the family and friends to split it and taste it.

Another special feature is that within the thread is the small figure of baby Jesus and this only happens in Mexico. So the thread from the person who finds the surprise or would leave the child Jesus, becomes the godfather of the child and therefore invite the audience to eat tamales with chocolate or gruel on February 2, day de la Candelaria or candles which is when people also customary to carry the child God bless the church.
Years ago, a child instead of God thread is hiding a bean or sweet, but people eat them and so did not know well who was the lucky one, then he placed the children God of porcelain or ceramic, but with the time, were developing heat-resistant plastic.

In some parts of our country are usually other surprises as a ring or a thimble, which have other meanings: if it leaves the ring is that you married that year and if he leaves a thimble, is that you stay another year in singleness. What?
What we can say is that in this Mexican tradition to hide in the comics thread alluding to the baby Jesus, it serves to symbolize the passage when the child had to be hidden and protected from Herod is why children are hidden.
As you will see the "Rosca de Reyes" is to build bridges of coexistence not only relatives but also friends, including with colleagues from work or school is usually from the Rosca.
Now what if I pass the recipe and then tell me why you left this thread, and if you can keep me a bit okay?
