CYOA Challenges
My faith

We celebrated Epiphany day of the king! We celebrates the date of the visit of the three kings to the infant Jesus. For every French person, the Epiphany is synonymous with the "galette des rois", a King cake that is eaten ceremoniously a few days before and after 6 January. The King's cake has many recipes but the most traditional one is a round cake (symbolizing the sun) made with puff pastry and frangipane. Inside each cake, a small charm made of porcelain is hidden. The person who finds the charm in his cake is the King or Queen of the day.
To avoid any cheating, traditions say the youngest person must go under the table. Usually, it will be a child announcing who the piece of cake is going for. Also, traditionally, families always cut an extra piece of cake and they leave it for the poor or an unannounced visitor. It's called the portion of God.
We really love this tradition and celebrate it together.

How are you doing my sweet friend? How's your mom and your kids?
I hope everyone is doing fine! No more sick people.
I hope your mom is home and not in the hospitale.

We're all doing okay here. Nobody is sick.
It was a hard week at work, but there are school holidays now, so lots of people (who cause trouble) are at home.
I have to work next week, but that's okay.

Lots of love and hugs!
From all of us to all of you!

I miss it!! Miam!
I didn't know the part about leaving a slice for the poor aside.

It's a very pretty layout!

What a beautiful tradition and page! I love that you scrapped it for your kids to carry on and show their families how they celebrated too when they were younger. I love how regal the page appears with the golden touches. So lovely!
