The Kings were astronomers also known as the three wise men and magi which stands for magician. They followed a star which led them to Bethlehem. The kings arrived bearing their treasured gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for the Baby Jesus. 
Those celebrating will have a "Rosca" which means wreath and "Reyes" means kings, so a direct translation of Rosca de Reyes would be "Kings' Wreath". The sweet bread is shaped in the form of a wreath and usually has candied fruit on top, and a figurine of a baby baked inside (now made of plastic but previously they were porcelain or tin). Children are told to take off their shoes and place them outside thier door so as to expect the gifts from the Reyes de Magos. Adults will fill them with representations of the Kings gifts with such things as candies small toys and food.
