A university in Mexico celebrated the Three Kings' Feast Day by creating a Guinness World Record for the longest line of freshly baked bread.
Students from Universidad Vizcaya Mexicali in Baja California made 14 360 loaves of rosca de reyes bread and strung them together in a 4,5km line.
Students and faculty members arranged the loaves of rosca de reyes bread, a traditional bread made in celebration of the Three Kings' Feast Day, celebrated on 6 January.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was present to confirm the line broke the record for longest bread line, which was also set in Mexico in 2020 with a 3,2 km line of rosca de reyes bread.
The university said the record attempt took more than 90 hours of preparation by 440 volunteers. The finished line of bread featured more than 30 000 plastic dolls inside the loaves, a tradition of rosca de reyes bread.
