Three years ago today I was in on my final pre-pandemic trip. Since the isn’t a big deal in the United States, I was shocked to see a solemn parade in one piazza and then firefighters dressed as witches throwing candy while repelling down medieval buildings in the next piazza. Happy epiphany, ! I hope you all get more candy than coal.

Happy to all who celebrate!

For those who don't know, in Italian folklore La Befana is an old witch who housed the three wise men on their way to baby Jesus. They invited her to join but she was too busy with work. Now, like Santa, she brings gifts to good kids and coal/sticks to bad ones - except she does it on Eiphany Eve. 🧙🏻 🇮🇹
