Yesterday (6 January) was Driekoningen or Épihanie (Three Kings Day). In Belgium, children in groups of three (symbolising the three kings) proceed in costume from house to house while singing songs typical for the occasion, and receiving a coin or some sweets at each door. They may each carry a paper lantern symbolizing the Christmas star. A puff pastry with almond filling, or so-called Kings tart, is prepared with a black bean hidden inside. Whoever finds the bean in his or her piece is king or queen for the day.
