Children envision- tog the procession of the Magi wend- tog its way across the honzon-t- he gem-scrowns and blazing torches their with the sunset-pl-ace shoes on window sills and balconies before going to bed. The shoes are filled with hay for the Wise Mens horses: on Epiphany morning, the hay is gone and toys and sweetmeats overflow such receptacles. Befana was cleaning house when the Wise Men stopped to inquire how near they were to Bethlehem; Befana knew nothing about Bethlehem, nor had she heard of the Holy Infant whom the Magi were seeking; so she finished her sweeping and went to bed. But Befana could not sleep; the regal cortege which had passed her door, the bright Star which gleamed in the sky, and her own premonitions haunted her; so, Befana started for Bethlehem at midnight on Epiphany Eve. Alas, the magic hour had passed and, although Befana has wandered ever since, she has never found her way to Bethlehem. That is why La Befana brings toys and confections to Italian children on Epiphany Eve; and Russian holds a candle to the face of each sleeping child while she slips a present under his pillow- - hoping that some day she will find the Babe of Bethlehem.
