In Mary's English group, this Thursday January 11th, we celebrated the new year 2024. For this we shared a very good time eating a 'galette des rois' and drinking tea, coffee and of course cider. alas no king came.

The Epiphany
cake has a long history. Epiphany has been celebrated since Antiquity. The
galette is round-shaped and golden in color like the sun. Then the Romans adopted
this feast before Epiphany became a Christian feast. It celebrated the visit of
the three Wise Men to the baby Jésus.
It later
became a popular festival.
Our English
course has continued this tradition to greet the new year 2024 on Thursday 11th January. The cake chosen by Ginette was made of a delicious frangipane. We
shared it into 15 parts and the draw chose 4 queens, no king !
We drank
cider, tea, coffee. It was a very convivial moment. The story goes that it is
for the queens to offer the next galette …
