How do you say ROSCA DE REYES in English?

 

A Lousiana KINGCAKE looks a bit different from Latin American KINGCAKES.

Yes, ROSCA DE REYES, at least in the state of Lousiana is called KINGCAKE or KING CAKE. This is a tradition usually observed among Catholics who in the United States are commonly French descendants mostly living in Lousiana, or Latin Americans. 
They all share this tradition, but there is a substantial difference: the decoration. Traditional Lousiana KINGCAKES emphasize the presence of the following colors: purple that symbolizes justice, the green that symbolizes faith, and the gold that symbolizes power. Latin American KINGCAKES tend to look different, and if any, the colors associated are red and green.

a Latin American KINGCAKE.

KINGCAKE or KING CAKE are not the only terms to describe this delicious example of pastry. THREE KINGS' CAKE, KING'S CAKE or CROWN CAKE are also possible, and of course there are those who just call it by their original Spanish name (of course not in Lousiana): ROSCA DE REYES.

The rosca de reyes is a very beautiful tradition because it refers to the arrival of the Magi, who with gifts, paid homage to the newborn Child Jesus.

Hello Mister Bermudes, this blog is very interesting. I did not know that the traditional Rosca de Reyes as it is known in Ecuador, in other places like Louisiana they call it KINGCAKE or KING CAKE they are not the only terms to describe this delicacy, other names are: CAKE OF THREE KINGS, CAKE OF KINGS or CROWN CAKE. Thanks for that very good information.

Buen día Mister Bermudes, muy interesante la información que nos acaba de proporcionar a través de este medio, esta es una tradición sumamente especial y con un gran significado para cada una de las familias. Algo que me llamo mucho la atención fue su nombre cómo lo llaman en diversos países. En el caso de nuestra familia, en este día especial nos gusta compartir de este delicioso postre, estar juntos y recordar el verdadero motivo de celebración, siendo los 3 reyes los cuales llevaron obsequios a Jesús. Pero si bien es cierto lo importante no es lo material, por el contrario es recordar su nacimiento.

It is interesting that the rosca de reyes in other cities is known by other names and that its decoration is different since for some cultures some colors have meaning and for others they are other colors.

I did not know that in other countries they also celebrate January 6, which is Three Kings Day eating the Rosca de Reyes, although they call it by another name I find it interesting that each country celebrates it according to its traditions, the important thing about this day is not what we eat or do, but rather spend it with our families.

I did not know that in Louisiana the rosca de reyes is called KINGCAKE, since in other countries they also celebrate Three Kings Day by eating the Rosca de Reyes, although they call it by another name, for example in Mexico they put a little doll on the rocks and to which I find it interesting that each country celebrates it according to its traditions, and what is important is to spend it with our family regardless of what we eat or do.

For a long time it has been a tradition to eat the Rosca de Reyes on January 6 in the company of the family and spend a pleasant moment, each country calls the Rosca de Reyes different for example I did not know that in Lousina they call it KINGCAKE or KING CAKE also in France is called Galette des Rois, although each country calls it different or the preparation and decoration is different, the main thing is to spend it in family union.

LA “ROSCA DE REYES” ES UNA TRADICION QUE SE VIVE EN CADA PAIS DE DIFERENTES MANERAS, POR EJEMPLO, EN EL ESTADO DE LOUSIANA SE LLAMA KINGCAKE O KING CAKE Y TIENE LOS SIGUIENTES COLORES: EL PÚRPURA QUE SIMBOLIZA LA JUSTICIA, EL VERDE QUE SIMBOLIZA LA FE Y EL DORADO QUE SIMBOLIZA EL PODER.
ESTOS TERMINOS NO SON LOS UNICOS PARA REFEREIRSE A LA ROSCA DE REYES Y COMPARTIR ESTA TRADICIÓN QUE SE COMPARTE ENTRE AMIGOS EN UNA CAFETERÍA O REUNIDOS CON LA FAMILIA EN CASA.
LA ROSCA DE REYES Y SIGNIFICADOS:
• FORMA: SIMBOLIZA EL AMOR INFINITO DE DIOS, SIN PRINCIPIO NI FIN. TAMBIÉN EVOCA LAS CORONAS DE LOS REYES MAGOS.
• FRUTAS DE COLORES: SON UN MENSAJE DE PAZ, AMOR Y ESPERANZA.

The rosca de reyes is a family tradition that is lived in each country in different ways, it is very rich and delicious
Hello Mr. Bermudes, I find this blog very interesting. Celebrating the rosca de reyes on January 6 is a tradition that many people like, but my family does not celebrate that day.
Me parece interesante ya que es una tradición buena y mas si se puede emplear el idioma como lo es el ingles dándole otro sentido en escritura hasta en pronunciación pero con la misma familia y amor.

Me parece interesante esta información porque al menos yo no sabía acerca de los colores tal como es el púrpura que simboliza la justicia, el verde que simboliza la fe y el dorado que simboliza el poder. En lo personal a mi me gusta celebrar esta tradición, con mi familia nos vamos a la iglesia y después tomamos chocolate con rosca de reyes, pero no sabía de donde provenía dicha tradición.

The Kingcake It is an aperitif that is consumed on Kings Day; a tradition that many families have, this consists of buying a rosca decorated with significant colors to celebrate the day of kings. This is why it is called kingcake or Crown cake.
In my family it is not common to make a dinner for the Day of the Kings, but without a doubt it is very nice to have an excuse or something to be able to share with the family and taste the deliciousness of the Roscas de Reyes.

how interesting this data¡ because it is important to know these details.

The rosca de reyes is a delicacy eaten on January 6 with a cup of chocolate in Ecuador by Catholics and other believers, how good to know and learn new things like the meaning of the rosca de reyes.

Super interesting this new data míster Bermúdez!!
Resulta sumamente interesante conocer el porqué de cada cosa, los detalles por más simples que parezcan siempre tienen un motivo. Es llamativo conocer de estos detalles por medio de ingles ya que así fomentamos la lectura y asu vez el aprendizaje de este idioma que es de fundamental importancia aprenderlo a escribir y hablar.
en familia siempre comemos la Rosca de Reyes , pero no sabia que hasta los colores tienen un significado .

Mr. Good afternoon, the subject is very interesting, although the rosca de Reyes today is a tradition shared by most of the people, including our beautiful Ecuador .. but wow this information was interesting

Me parece muy interesante la forma en como elaboran la rosca de reyes en los Estados Unidos y los significados que tienen los colores.
Conocía que aquí en Ecuador se comía por una tradición que viene desde hace muchísimos años atrás, pero desconocía totalmente que en otras partes cada color tiene un significado especial para quienes la comen y las preparan.

Es una tradición muy bonita en la cual la fe ,la union y compartir en familia es muy significativo
Wow! I don't know Rosca the Reyes' history. Thank you for teaching us
Cecilia Rivera Cedeño said…
As us here in Latin America, there are many traditions that we sahre with other places just with a few changes, and it is very intersting to see how things are different between one culture and another.
It is true, Mr. Bermudez, the "rosca de Reyes" is a custom to break a loaf of bread, which is characterized by its circular shape, symbol of God's eternal love that has no beginning or end.
Unknown said…

It is a very beautiful tradition, of family union and in itself the meaning of colors is beautiful to share emotional words and good wishes in these times where beautifully understood that the material is too much and there is nothing more beautiful than living every detail every important date with our family.

The rosca de reyes is a very beautiful tradition because it symbolizes a biblical passage known as Epiphany, in which the Magi meet with the child God.
