Description of the Epiphany crown

The Epiphany crown, also known as the crown of the Epiphany, is a festive headdress that is traditionally placed on the Epiphany cake. This golden crown symbolizes the king who is crowned in the tradition of Epiphany. The finder of the royal figure hidden in the cake gets to put on the crown and is named king or queen of the day.
