We want to let you know some more about this traditional Christmas character of ours. In the Italian tradition there is a legend about the Befana. It tells that the 3 kings, coming from the East and on the way to adore Baby Jesus, lost the way and asked to an old lady to get them to the holy Infant to bring Him their presents. She refused to accompany them, then repent, prepared a basket of sweets for Baby Jesus and run outside to reach the Kings but didn’t find them. Therefore she stopped in each house on her way and left a sweet for each child hoping to find Baby Jesus. From then, evey year, she goes around the world bringing sweets and presents to all the children to have forgiveness for her fault.
