"Dia dos Reis"
January, 2012
From December 25th until January 5th people in Portugal (and some other Europeans) walk the streets in groups singing traditional carols called “As Janeiras”. The reason for the singing is to welcome the New Year and recall important events of the past year. Households exchange fruits, nuts, sweets and wine for the “Janeiras” just like American Christmas Carolers and their “figgy pudding”. But just when you thought that the celebrations were over January 6th comes along! On this day the Portuguese tradition is to eat Bolo-Rei, or “King Cake”. This cake is specifically eaten on January 6th on the catholic observance of Epiphany; which in Portugal is called Dia Dos Reis, or “Day of The Kings”. This day celebrates the 3 Kings aka the “3 wise men” that brought gifts to baby Jesus on the day of his birth. The cake is shaped in a circle with a hole in the middle (modernly called a bunt) to look like a king’s crown. Raisins, nuts and one bean fill the cake while crystallized dried fruits decorate the top. The person to find the bean is the one to make or buy the bolo-Rei for the following year.
