A huge 10,000kg loaf of bread was made for the traditional Magi party that saw thousands of Mexican families coming together to celebrate with food and gifts for children.
“This event is important. We will not lose our traditions that unite families,” said Laura Vazquez, Mexico’s secretary for economic development.
A central part of the celebration of the nativity’s three wise men — described in the Bible as bringing presents to the newborn Jesus Christ — revolves around baking and eating La Rosca de Reyes (Three Kings Bread), a sweet, dry delicacy.
The bread in question, unveiled in all its glory at the central Zocalo square in Mexico City, was about 1,600m long, and weighed close to 10,000kg.
It was shared between about 200,000 people gathered to celebrate in the city center.
Around 2,300 bakers affiliated to Canainpa, the national baker’s association, helped bake the bread.
In all, the sweet bread used 6,600kg of flour, 3,000kg of butter and 1,500 liters of milk, according to Canaipa head Antonio Arias.
Families in Mexico and throughout Latin America celebrated the Epiphany on Jan. 6, remembering the day when the Three Wise Men followed the star to Bethlehem bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for the baby Jesus.

墨西哥為慶祝傳統的「主顯節」，烘培了一條重一萬公斤的巨無霸麵包，數以千計的家庭準備了食物和給小孩的禮物，齊聚一堂歡慶佳節。
墨西哥經濟發展部部長蘿拉．凡絲蓋茲說：「這是個重要的節慶，我們不會中斷這些讓闔家團聚的傳統。」
這個節日源於聖經中耶穌基督誕生時，東方三博士帶來禮物獻給耶穌。烘培和享用乾乾甜甜的「三王麵包（La Rosca de Reyes）」為該慶典的主軸。
上述這個長約一千六百公尺、重接近一萬公斤的麵包，在墨西哥城的索卡洛廣場盛大登場。
當天約有二十萬人聚集在市中心慶祝，一起分食這條麵包。
這條麵包是由墨西哥全國糕點公會「Canainpa」的約兩千三百位麵包師傅齊力烘培。
糕點公會主席安東尼奧．阿里亞斯說，這條香甜的麵包共使用了六千六百公斤麵粉、三千公斤奶油和一千五百公升的牛奶。
