In Italian folklore, January 6 marks the feast of the Befana, an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve. Befana visits all the children of Italy on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany to fill their socks with candy and presents if they are good, or a lump of coal or dark candy if they are bad. Christian legend had it that the Magi came to her door in search of baby Jesus. Befana turned them away because she was too busy cleaning. Later, La Befana had a change of heart and tried to search out for Jesus. That night she was not able to find him, so to this day, La Befana is still searching for the little baby and she visits and leaves gifts for good young children because the Christ Child can be found in all children.
