La Befana comes tonight on the eve of the Epiphany! 🧙♀️🧹She is an old friendly witch like figure who flies on a broomstick as she goes from house to house. She enters and leaves the homes via the chimney leaving sweets and gifts for well behaved children and coal to those who are not. Legend has it that she uses her broomstick to sweep away all the problems of the year! Large festivals are celebrated in her honor throughout Italy. One of the biggest La Befana celebrations takes place in Urbania in the Marche region during a four day festival from January 2-6th! I just love this Festa della Befana! Stockings are hung from every window in the town with anticipation of her sweet arrival!🇮🇹❤️🎉 She will be visiting our home tonight..will she be visiting yours? 📸 👏
