Feves are baked into king cakes, or Galette des Rois, on the Epiphany. The French word \u003cspan title=\"French-language text\"\u003e\u003cem lang=\"fr\"\u003efève\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e translates to fava bean, which is what was originally hidden in the cake. Modern fèves can be made from other materials, such as porcelain or plastic, and can take varied shapes and forms. The themes of fève are very diverse and may include religious symbols, tools related to baking, or even depictions of famous figures. Cakes with fèves are found throughout Europe and the US and are particularly associated with Three Kings Day or Mardis Gras. The person who finds the fève is usually awarded special privileges or gifts for the day. Fèves have also become collector's items, and in France, their collectors are known as \u003cem\u003efabophiles\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003efavophiles. \u003c\/em\u003eThe person who gets the piece containing the hidden feve gets a crown, and he or she is treated as a king or queen for the day.Finding a feve in your slice of cake is considered good luck.

Santons are clay figurines that are used to create nativity scenes. Santons became popular during the French Revolution when churches were closed. Santons are used in homes and schools. There are two types of santons: unique pieces modeled by hand and series santons created using a mold. Santons are a local art in Marseille. Santons are a must for Christmas in Marseille.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monahan Papers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48199379419360,"sku":"441270","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/2797\/2442\/files\/Ceramic_French_Feve_s_and_Santons.png?v=1789773956","url":"https:\/\/paxtongate.com\/products\/ceramic-french-feves-and-santons","provider":"Paxton Gate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
