Epiphany Day. The three Kings bring present to the Holy Child.

In France, families and friends gather around the Galette Des Rois, some almond based pie. A seed is hidden inside. The youngest of all goes under the table. The host picks each share and asks the youngest to determine who will get it. The person who has the seed in his or her share is crowned king of the day. Each king picks a queen and vice versa.

In Provence, they call it the Couronne Des Rois apparently (I tried both types). It is a crown-shape Brioche, with loads of fruits, sugar coating and other various fillings. It has a micro earthenware santon hidden inside, to help children construct their micro crib. The ritual is completely identical.
