What is the Mexican holiday celebrated on Janurary 4th or 6th?

Like their Christmas or something, they have a bread/pastry thing with cactus on top, I also need to know the name of that bread.

What is the Mexican holiday celebrated on Janurary 4th or 6th?
Dia de los Reyes Magos. it's epiphany. The three kings stop by and leave gifts for the children. The bread is called Rosca de Reyes.
Reply:the bread is called a rosca and its for the "dia de los reyes" holiday.
Reply:January 6th is Dia de los Reyes Magos.


On the night of the 5th, the children leave a shoe outside, by the main entrance of the house.


The morning of 6th they collect the gifts and treats that "Los Reyes" brought for them.


The gifts symbolize the gifts that the 3 Wise Men brought Baby Jesus.


The Rosca de Reyes is a pastry that we eat on that day.


It has a hidden plastic baby somewhere in the middle.


The person who gets the baby, will have prosperity that year.


In my hometown we have a big Dia de los Reyes Party, at someones home, who ever gets the baby from the Big Rosca; will throw the party the next year. Only responsible adults are allowed to participate to ensure their commitment.
