AS French students get a taste of the French "Vasilopita".

On Friday, January 20th, Year 6 students of French had the opportunity to taste the French "galette", equivalent to the Vasilopita. 

Festival and traditions are one of the theme studies in Alevel, so it was an opportunity for them to discover this French custom. The French have been serving up galette des rois since the 14th century. Traditionally, it is served on January 6th – the 12th day of Christmas – to celebrate the Epiphany, a religious feast day commemorating the arrival of the Three Kings to the manger where Jesus was born. These days, it is eaten throughout January and is simply a festive way to celebrate the new year with family and friends.
