Épiphany celebrations

In many countries, Epiphany is celebrated with special traditions. In France, it's customary to eat the "Galette des Rois", a pastry with a hidden charm or "fève" inside. The person who finds the charm becomes the "king" or "queen" for the day. In France, when the galette des rois is served, it's tradition for the youngest person to sit under the table and call out who should receive each slice. This ensures that the distribution is random, making it fair for everyone to have a chance to find the hidden fève.
