The day commemorates the visit of the Magi to Jesus and symbolizes the manifestation of divinity. The tradition of the Befana is linked to the Magi's journey and reflects a blend of sacred and profane narratives. Celebrations include folk festivals and street events, particularly in Rome, while other European countries focus on culinary rituals. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
