Celebrating the Festive Season: New Year, Christmas, and The Three Wise Men

The festive season in Catalonia is rich with traditions and family gatherings. We celebrate New Year’s Eve by eating 12 grapes at midnight, symbolizing good luck for the year ahead. The day after Christmas, known as Sant Esteve, is when we enjoy family meals featuring canalons made from leftover Christmas chicken. On January 6th, children eagerly open presents and relish a special cake called "el Tortell de Reis," which holds a figure and a bean with a playful twist. The Three Wise Men day is marked with a vibrant parade, reminding us of the joy of giving and togetherness.

Presentation Transcript

  1. New year’s Eve is a great night because a year finishes and another begins. We have 12 grapes when the clock strikes twelve

  2. Saint Esteban The day after Christmas we celebrate ‘Sant Esteve’, a day of peace and rest. This day we eat ‘canalons’ done with the chicken that we ate on Christmas Day. ‘Sant Esteve’ is not as important as Christmas Day but we also eat all together with our families.

  3. On January 6th, people, mainly children, open their presents and have a good meal. For desserts, we have a special cake called “el Tortell de Reixos”. Inside the cake, there are a figure of a king, it means you win the crown, and a dried bean, which means you pay for the cake.

  4. Christmas Day is a day to be with your family. We prepare great meals to fill our bellies and have a good day. For lunch we usually have soup (“Sopa de de Nadal” or “Sopa de Galets”), chicken, and very good desserts.

  5. Els Reis On 5th January we celebrate the “Three Wise Men” day, “Els Reixos” in Catalan. There is a big parade with the three kings, the camels and their page boys. That night children get more presents.
