Italy's Holiday Witch -"La Befana" (S3, #2)
Manage episode 316671181 series 2799527
In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, explores La Befana, a crone character from Italian folklore. Befana appears on January 5th to give gifts to children. I'll share with you my story that consolidates many of the tales surrounding her. Finally, we'll look at how La Befana compares to some other legendary figures (who also appear during the season of Epiphany). Remember, Befana shows us that it's never too late to go on a true adventure!
