Dia de Reyes leads today's complete edition for Bahamas.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Kids leave their shoes out the night before and wake up hoping for a gift from the Reyes Magos. The panaderias sell roscon de reyes, the ring-shaped sweet bread with a plastic baby hidden inside. Whoever finds the baby hosts the next gathering, though everyone forgets by February.
Plenty Bahamians still recognize January 6th as the real Christmas, especially on the Family Islands where older folks keep the tradition alive. You might catch a second round of guava duff being steamed and a quieter family gathering with pigeon peas and rice still in the pot from last week. The Anglican churches sometimes hold a small Epiphany service that feels more like the real thing than the December rush.
