La Fête Des Rois is the French name for the Christian holiday of Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th, which is 12 days after Christmas. The day is a celebration of when the Three Kings or "wise men" found their way to see the infant Jesus and recognized him as the son of God. King Cake, or galette des rois is traditionally eaten on Epiphany in France as well as in New Orleans. La Fête Des Rois can also refer to a party that is thrown to eat King Cake.
