Befana Feast

She flies on a broom and gets into the house through the chimney. She puts sweets and fruit in the stockings for good children, and coal for the naughty ones. The legend says that Befana was looking for Bethlehem when Jesus was born. But she couldn’t find it and so she has been looking for it ever since. Her most famous depiction is with a black hat, red dress and shoes, and a long black cloak.
