Roscon de Reyes
On January 7, Saturday, from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon,
the Three Kings will visit The Peninsula Manila, bringing with them presents
for children. There will be special celebrations starting with a parade around
the hotel bringing the Three Kings from the East — Melchior, Gaspar and
Balthazar — to The Lobby before proceeding to Escolta restaurant where a
delicious buffet lunch awaits guests.
The Feast of the Three Kings is also a time for
indulging one’s sweet tooth. Visit The Peninsula Boutique for a taste
of “Roscon de Reyes”, a traditional Spanish
brioche-like sweet bread that represents the three kings’ crowns that’s eaten on the
Feast of the Three Kings which celebrates Epiphany when the Three
Kings came to visit the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.
