Tonight, small children throughout Italy will hang stockings for a visit from La Befana. ✨ According to popular folklore, La Befana (The Good Witch of Christmas) visits all the children of Italy on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany to gift them candy & presents if they've been good, or a lump of coal / dark candy if they've been bad. Legend has it that this tradition started after the wisemen saught directions from La Befana on the way to find the manger. She initially refused to accompany them, then later had a change of heart, but had no luck finding him, so she gave her gifts to children along the way. Italian tradition holds that she is still looking for the baby, and leaves gifts for the children along her quest!

The Eve of the Epiphany has arrived and as we speak she's streaking through the sky, not in a sled or with nine flying reindeer, but in her vehicle of choice: a magic broom! The Italian folklore goes back generations, and it always reminds us to see the good in others (see link in comments for the story of La Befana).

The legend of Befana began thousands of years ago and remains to this day a tradition practised by Italian children and their families. As the story goes, one day, the three Magi left their country bearing special gifts of gold, incense and myrrh for the new-born Jesus Christ. They were guided by a star across many countries. At every village that they passed, people ran to meet them and accompany them in their journey.
But there was one old woman who did not join the Magi. She claimed to be too busy with her housework and promised to join them later when she had time. The next day, she realized her mistake and frantically ran after the Magi with gifts for the child, still clutching her broom. But it was too late – the Magi were long gone.

Over the past eight days, we have witnessed the nightly lighting of the menorah, each candle symbolizing not just a miracle from long ago, but also the enduring strength and resilience of the Jewish community. As Hanukkah comes to a close, we hope the holiday found you surrounded by warmth, joy, and the cherished company of friends and family.

We now look towards Christmas, a time of great significance for so many of our friends. The festive spirit, the joy of giving, and the celebration of life and love are in the air. Christmas, much like Hanukkah, inspires us with messages of hope, peace, and goodwill towards all.
