Mexico City, Mexico, Jan 6, 2021 / 03:11 pm (CNA).- Several bakeries in Mexico decided to replace the Christ child with Baby Yoda in king cakes for Epiphany, causing controversy.
King cake, or rosca de reyes, is a crown-shaped sweet bread traditionally eaten in Mexico and other countries on Epiphany.
Inside the bread a small figurine of the Christ child is placed, which some businesses have replaced with a figurine of “Grogu,” also known as “Baby Yoda”.
In a video shared with CNA’s sister agency, ACI Prensa, Father José de Jesús Aguilar, deputy director of Radio and Television of the Archdiocese of Mexico, recalled that the tradition of “hiding” the Christ child in the king cake “reminds us that the Christ Child was hidden from Herod’s sight so that he could not murder him.”
