Three Kings' Day


January 6th is the Feast of the Epiphany or Three Kings' Day in which Belgians eat the galette des rois (a flaky pastry type cake with almond filling) to commemorate the visit of the Three Magi to the Baby Jesus. J celebrated this day at school and was the lucky one to receive the slice with the lucky charm. I wonder if the teachers planned it that way since she's the new kid? She also was then given the golden crown to wear and crowned queen for the day.
