Did you know there was Christmas Witch that an entire country celebrates? In this weeks episode we will explore the folklore of La Befana, the Italian Witch who visits children on Epiphany Eve filling stockings with baked goods and sweet treats.
Myth meets reality as we share what has been passed down through the ages about three "wise guys" who showed up on her doorstep or was it "three wise men" who were following a bright star in the sky that would lead them to Bethlehem where a baby King was prophesied to be born that would bring peace, and love to the world. Decide for yourself if you believe that her story actually happened or was it just a tale? Join Maggie, April, and Harmony as they dive deep into Italian folklore and how a culture that is known for its religious beliefs in Catholicism actually accepts and celebrates a Witch every January 6th!
