Witch Krafting with Kat

There is a wonderful old Christmas tradition in Italy of a old lady resembling a witch called Befana. She delivers presents on Epiphany Eve and is very similar to the Saint Nicolas/Krampus traditional of giving good children gifts and that naughty children get punish by receiving coal! There is a lovely article on the website listed below Befana images which I highly recommend reading. Festive witches appear in many countries and on old postcards   Befana Dolls for sale in Italy. https://www.ottawaitalians.com/Heritage/befana.htm
