Today, we celebrate the visit of the Magi who traveled all the way from Persia to Bethlehem to bring baby Jesus gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh (try that last one the next time you play Hangman with a small child). And just how is this event celebrated here? With food, of course, in this case a Three Kings Cake. There are several kinds (my favorite is the one filled with frangipane shown here), but they all have something in common: a small trinket is hidden inside. This used to be a simple bean; nowadays, it could be a plastic baby Jesus or a hand painted porcelain figurine. Whoever gets the goodie is king or queen for the day and gets to pick a consort (relax: it’s a purely ceremonial role). Today’s photo shows my contribution to this morning’s office party.
