Do you celebrate La Befana? 💫 La Befana is a beloved figure of Italian folklore tied to the Epiphany (January 6) 🇮🇹✨ According to legend, the Three Wise Men asked her for directions to Baby Jesus. She didn’t go with them… but later set out to find Him, bringing sweets for children along the way. That’s why in Italy, La Befana fills children’s stockings with candies, nuts, dried fruit, and sweet “coal” (carbone dolce) — a tradition that marks the end of the Christmas season. | stopitaliansound

Do you know the Legend of La Befana? 🧙🏻‍♀️🧹🇮🇹🍬 Long before Santa ever came down chimneys, Italy had La Befana the sweet, stubborn, broom-flying nonna of folklore. The story goes that the Three Wise Men stopped at her house on their way to find Baby Jesus. They invited her to join them, but she said she was too busy cleaning her little home — “after all,” she thought, “there will always be time.” But once they left, her heart pulled her forward. She realized she should have gone… so she gra

La Befana is a kind old witch from Italian folklore. She visits children on the night of January 5, during Epiphany. La Befana rides a broom and enters homes through the chimney. She gives sweets and gifts to good children and leaves coal for those who misbehave. According to legend, she once missed a chance to travel with the Wise Men to see baby Jesus, so she continues searching for him while bringing gifts to children. | Terrifying Earth
