“If the thread has this symbolic shape that reminds us that Christ is the King of kings and that he was worshiped by the wise men And that is why the thread is broken at this time and that it was hidden from the eyes of Herod who instead of worshiping him, wanted to kill him, for this reason his image is fondly hidden within the thread so that as a family, in a work group is found, I think this is what should prevail, “explained Father Aguilar.
And he said that a donut or cake with a figure other than that of the child God can be used on another day and not on this commemorative date.
“A donut or a cake with something hidden, it can be used any other day, perhaps the children’s birthday, perhaps the children’s day or some other holiday, but from my point of view the rosca de Reyes should have this image of the child Jesus who hides within “.
