In much of Latin America Día de los Reyes or Día de los Reyes Magos is celebrated in particular by children who receive gifts from the three Magi . In Memphis, where we celebrate Christmas, kids believe their gifts come fro Santa Claus.In Mexico, one of the most important elements of Día de los Reyes is the Rosca de Reyes, or the Wreath of the Kings. A large, oval-shaped cake filled with sweetened dried fruit, the King's Cake symbolizes a crown. In Memphis, we have wreaths with just pine cones and lights on them that we hang on our door. Across Latin America and the United States, Latinos celebrate Dia de Los Reyes in style with huge parades and celebrations thrown to commemorate the day. We have similarities and differences when it comes to how we celebrate holidays.
