Galette des Rois

Cultural Context

Originating in France, Galette des Rois is traditionally enjoyed during Epiphany, celebrating the arrival of the Magi. Families gather to share this flaky pastry, which often contains a hidden figurine, symbolizing luck and prosperity. The person who finds the fève is crowned king or queen for the day. Today, variations exist across cultures, with similar cakes found in Spain and Latin America, each with unique fillings and traditions.
