La Befana
Today we visited Italy!! We are having so much fun learning about Christmas celebrations around the world. We saw alot of neat things in Italy. We saw many Nativity scenes. They were set up at all the churches, and in the yards of most homes. There were street performers, bonfires, and even fireworks to celebrate.
We learned about La Befana, a tiny old women dressed in balck riding a broomstick. She delivers gifts in baskets. Do you remember the story of La Befana?
