Explanation of the Befana Tradition:
The Befana is a kind old woman, often depicted as a witch, who brings gifts and sweets to children on the night of January 5th to 6th for Epiphany. According to legend, she once refused to follow the Three Wise Men to see Baby Jesus and later regretted her decision. Since then, she has traveled the world searching for Baby Jesus, leaving gifts along the way. This beautiful tradition is a magical way to close the festive season in Italy.
