According to an old legend, the Wise Men knocked at the door of an old woman to ask her for directions to Bethlehem. They asked her if she wanted to go with them and she refused. But in the night she repented and decided to join them. He could not find them and knocked on every door leaving a gift hoping that the baby of the house was baby Jesus.
In Italy, the Befana is an old woman that on the night of January 6 passes for homes, flying on an old broom, leaving gifts for children in one of his socks. To good children she leave candies and toys, to the bad ones she leaves only some coal piece.
In our day, the socks are ready in supermarkets, full of treats, including black sugar coal .
And the Befana no longer uses a broom to fly.
