SUMMARY:Three Kings (Hispanic)
DESCRIPTION:The Feast of Reyes (Fiesta de Reyes or Los Reyes) is celebrated in Spain/Portugal and Latin America on January 6th. The feast celebrates the passage in the Bible in which the Three Wise Men safely arrive to Jerusalem thanks to the guidance of the Star and bring gifts to Jesus. The level of celebration varies from a family gathering to a huge city wide and very anticipated parade depending on the culture/country. For example\, both Spain and Puerto Rico celebrate with large parades\, and many argue that Reyes is more festive/a larger celebration than Christmas. Despite the differences in the level of “Community Celebration”\, all cultures/countries share some traditions around this feast: 1. Family gathering the night before and/or the day of Reyes. 2. Eating the Rosca/Roscon de Reyes\, a sweet bread in the shape of a large oval “doughnut” with dried fruit on top. This is a very time consuming sweet to make. Inside the bread there is one (or more than one depending on the size of the Rosca) figurine of “Baby Jesus”. Based on each family’s traditions (mostly guided by the cultural traditions of the country of origin) the person that receives the piece of bread with the figurine will be responsible for hosting the party the next year\, bringing tamales for the feast of Candelaria/Candlemas Day (Mexican Tradition)\, or doing/not doing the dishes\, first one to other presents\, etc. 3. All kids (and grown up kids) leave their shoes by the window the night before Reyes (Jan 5th) or under the Christmas Tree so the Reyes (Kings) can fill them with gifts during the night. Usually\, kids select their favorite shoes\, “Church” shoes or the shoes that better represent them (soccer shoes\, dance shoes\, flip-flops\, etc). 4. Kids also leave water outside their home for the camels to drink. (The Three Wise Men travel on camels). It is important also to mention that this feast brings much attention to the idea of the star that guided the Three Wise Men to Jesus and how we should always follow God’s light and path and trust that we will be safe. \nMore Information

SUMMARY:Martydom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (Sikh)
DESCRIPTION:The ninth Guru\, Guru Tegh Bahadur\, made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the freedom of religion. The geo-political conditions under the Mughal Emperor\, Aurangzeb\, allowed for forceful conversion of religion. Many innocents were exploited and killed for refusing to convert to Islam. They were denied a fundamental human right. A group of Hindu pundits were being religiously persecuted and approached Guru Tegh Bahadur for assistance. They had been given two options: convert to Islam or be killed. Guru Tegh Bahadur heard their pleas and told the pundits to let the Emperor know that he could convert him\, he could convert them all. Soon after\, he set off to Delhi. He was asked to convert to Islam\, perform a miracle\, or face death. The other Sikhs were also executed in an effort to waiver Guru Tegh Bahadur’s commitment and faith. Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded in a public square in broad daylight under the allegations of preventing the spread of Islam in the Indian subcontinent. Guru Bahadur chose to sacrifice his life and demonstrated the level of deep moral commitment that Sikhs have to be the shield for all of humanity and defend the basic\, fundamental human rights. \nMore Information \nStudents and/or Co-Workers may visit their local Gurdwara at some point during the day
