  1. Charcoal and candies
    socks filled up and stretched
    mom's memories

    (I feel I did this haiku and explanation already but mastodon search sucks)

    The #Befana is an old lady who brings sweets to good kids on January 6th.
    If you've been bad, you'll get charcoal.
    You put out actual socks (generally your parents' larger ones) to be filled.

    These days it's a minor holiday, but it was more important than Xmas a generation ago in Rome.
    I still do it for my family.

  6. Un martes de calma necesaria tras la tormenta.

    La labor como ayudante de la bruja Befana ha concluido con éxito; juguetes y dulces entregados en su totalidad. Después del ritmo frenético y el estrés que marcó la jornada de ayer, el cuerpo finalmente reclama su derecho al descanso y a la relajación.

    Momento de soltar las tensiones y simplemente estar.

  7. Epiphany is also the day for La Befana! The latest in my slightly sinister winter holiday folklore collection: the Italian Christmas witch. La Befana is a witch of Italian folklore who brings sweets & gifts to good children and coal or cinders to bad children on Epiphany Eve. She flies on her broom and comes down the chimney. It’s dangerous to watch her. She’s both grandmotherly and a witch, beloved & ridiculed. 🧵

  12. Oggi è l'Epifania.
    Due personaggi nella nostra tradizione portano i doni: un uomo invecchiato molto male, sovrappeso, con una barba da homeless, eppure lo consideriamo buono e bello. Lui viagga sulla slitta con le renne volanti.
    Poi c'è lei, una donna malvestita, bruttarella, anche un po' incazzosa. Deve volare su una scopa.

    Come le narrazioni possono dire tanto di una cultura, eh?

    Io amerò sempre la Befana, però, perché Babbo avrà pure le renne, ma lei HA UN GATTO.
