The Tale of La Befana
Traditionally, the Epiphany or Little Christmas is a holiday for children in Italy. La Befana goes around on the eve of the Epiphany giving gifts to good kids and lumps of coal to the bad ones.

A Tale of the Epiphany
This legend of the Epiphany tells us of a selfish man who realizes the importance of giving to those in need instead of always thinking of himself.

Join Italy’s Epiphany Party
Italians are always looking for more vacation time. It’s no wonder that their holiday season lasts one week longer than it does for those of us in the United States. They are off until January 6, which marks L’Epifania or the Epiphany, which is the celebration of when the three wise men or magi arrived to see the baby Jesus. Leave it to Italians to take things up a notch. Commemorating this encounter isn’t enough. They had to make up an interesting story and bring a witch into the mix. Enter La Befana.
