The Miracle of Mary and the Rosca de Reyes

Chica Rosca de Reyes

Mary Keller was a frugal, single woman. She had grown up without much money and had learned that if she could find a bargain then the world would be safe . These lessons were never lost and one of the reasons Mary had moved to San Miguel was to find the bargains she had read about in Falling in Love with San Miguel. Mary, of course, had joined the Cheap Gang.

She had noticed in early January these cakes being sold in Mega. She didn’t go to Mega very often because it was so expensive.  Yet the cakes seemed to beckon her for some strange reason.  But they were so so beyond the means of someone on social security.

The cakes came in different sizes.  Every day Mary would go to Mega and look at them, hoping that perhaps, there would a sample of this delicious cake or a very small cake for a single, frugal woman.   The sign said Rosca de Reyes but she didn’t understand a word of spanish but she loved the alliteration and wondered who Rosca was and where Reyes was located.  She began to obsess about the Rosca de Reyes.  She would dream each night about taking one home and unwrapping it and eating it all in one sitting.  The red and green on the Rosca de Reyes was so festive.  She searched the Civil List to find out maybe if there might be Rosca de Reyes Discount outlet.  What she found discouraged her.

Here’s the menu for Tuesday dinner at El Manantial tonight, Tuesday,
January 6th:

Queso fundido with rajas, served with fresh corn tortillas

Pollo con mole, served with rice and guacamole

Rosca de Reyes

1 free drink

$130 pesos per person

Bueno provecho!!

She couldn’t afford $130 pesos.

But on January 6th the gods intervened.  Walking home from a free concert she saw a truck selling Rosca de Reyes from the back of the truck and  saw a sign saying Chica 25 pesos.  She knew Chica meant for a frugal single woman so she bought one and rushed home.

She unwrapped her treasure and began to eat until the miracle happened.  She felt something in her mouth that was hard.  She spit it into her hand and looked down to find a small plastic baby.  She started to tremble.  She had just given birth to a plastic baby.  She had never had children and here was her own special plastic baby.  She washed it and wrapped it in a kleenex and went back to eating the cake.  Several minutes later she gave birth to another baby.  It was Twins.  So she propped up her babies against the now almost empty wine bottle and started to cry.

Rosca and Reyes – Birth Pictures

This was another magical moment in San Miguel.  You will find Proud Mary in the Jardin.  If asked, she will show you her plastic babies she keeps in her pocket and relate the miracle of how a Barren Woman gave birth to twins on January 6th 2009.  One is called Rosca and the other Reyes.

Miracles in San Miguel – More Children for Mary

CAUTION: PICTURE OF CHILD BIRTH TO FOLLOW

The Rosca de Reyes Van

It was January 6th Three Kings Day in San Miguel.

The same truck was at the corner selling Rosca de Reyes again from the back of the truck. Mary had been waiting all day for the truck to arrive. Last year, that very truck had delivered to her the miracle that had changed her life – two small babies in a Rosca de Reyes.

She approached the truck, much differently this year and bought another Chica Rosca de Reyes but this time she was prepared for the Miracle. She had a Bakery Gynecologist waiting back at her apartment.

Rosca De Reyes

She and the Bakery Gynecologist laid the Rosca de Reyes out on a clean napkin. They both looked at the Rosca de Reyes and knew that a Miracle was about to occur. Mary was going to have two more babies but this time, but by Caesarian Section. .

Six Centimetres Dilated

The Bakery Gynecologist made the first incision, slowly and carefully and removed a piece of the Rosca de Reyes to be examined for babies.  There were no babies in the first piece.  Mary became to worry that it might be  barren Rosca de Reyes but the second incision was more successful.

The Baby Arrives

There poking out from a piece of cake was a Baby. Tears flowed as the Bakery Gynecologist removed the Baby from the Rosca de Reyes and laid it on the napkins for Mary to see.

Safe Delivery

Baby Two Crowns

As the Bakery Gynecologist cut further the second baby began to crown and push his way out of the Rosca de Reyes. Two babies again for Mary on the same day. She wondered what the chances were of twins born one year apart on the same day. This was simple evidence that another Miracle had occurred

Baby Two Arrives

.


Mary put the placenta in a bag and turned her attention to her new babies.
______________________________________________
She was not alone this year as she had been last year and was so glad she had used a skilled Bakery Gynecologist instead of a Midwife Pastry Chef. Her babies were safe in their little Kleenex box.  She started to worry about next year and if maybe she was too old to take responsibility for so many children but there were such quiet placid babies that required very little care.
