Fête des rois

One of my favorite French traditions is the Fête des rois (Celebration of the Kings) or L'Épiphanie (Epiphany). The official holiday is on January 6th but the French celebrate it throughout the entire month. The holiday recognizes the day the wisemen saw the baby Jesus. Below is a picture of a galette a thin buttery cake with an almond cream inside and like all French pastries it's delicious. The tradition goes everyone takes a slice of the galette and inside is a little figurine or bean and the person who is fortunate enough to find the piece is the king or queen of the day!

I celebrated this holiday on two separate occasions and was the queen of the day for both. Might be a sign...
