✨ Meet La Befana ✨

La Befana is a character from ancient Italian folklore—often called Italy’s Santa Claus—known for bringing children gifts on the eve of the Epiphany.
Her legend is woven into the story of the Three Magi… who, according to tradition, got a little lost on their way. But as we say in true Italian fashion—we don’t let truth get in the way of a good story. 🇮🇹✨
In this clip from Episode 80 of Italian American Stories, Dina Gregory shares the folklore that inspired La Befana’s Table—and how an ancient legend became a modern space for storytelling, connection, and belonging.
