Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, is a religious festivity that has evolved into a cultural celebration in Italy, featuring the Befana, an elderly woman who brings gifts to children. The day commemorates the visit of the Magi to Jesus and symbolizes the manifestation of divinity. The tradition of the Befana is linked to the Magi's journey and reflects a blend of sacred and profane narratives. Celebrations include folk festivals and street events, particularly in Rome, while other European countries focus on culinary rituals.
