And there came an event to the world that would change the world, and all within it.

Before Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas, there was La Befana. The name means “giver of gifts” and is based on legendary tales of an old woman who gave sweet breads and treats to children. La Befana visits children during the Festival of the Three Kings. This is known as the twelve days of Christmas and extends from December 25 to January 6. January 6th is the Epiphany. In the country of Italy, the children leave their shoes outside their door. If they were good, La Befana will leave cakes in their shoes. In the country of Mexico, La Befana hides one last present. The children must search for their gifts. In the country of America, La Befana is unknown.

The legend of La Befana has long been seen as a children’s Christmas tale. The author returns the story to its original meaning.
