It is a story of a lonely old woman and her endless search for the Christ Child. For Italians,&nbsp;<em>La Festa della Epifania,&nbsp;<\/em>The Epiphany, is as significant a holiday as Christmas Day, especially for Italian children. The legend continues that on the night of January 5th, Old Befana flies on her broomstick and goes down chimneys to deliver candy&nbsp;<em>(dolcetti)<\/em>&nbsp;or lumps of coal&nbsp;<em>(carbone)&nbsp;<\/em>to deserving children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January 6th\u00a0is a national holiday and marks the end of the traditional Christmas season. It commemorates the 12th\u00a0Day of Christmas when the Three Wise Men arrived at the manger bearing gifts for Baby Jesus. The traditional foods of\u00a0<em>L\u2019Epifania<\/em>\u00a0represent, in some instances, regional specialties, but are, by in large the same as the preceding Christmas holidays. Our menu is a whimsical culinary nod to Italy\u2019s most beloved witch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iricchifoodclub.com\/blogs\/news\/week-146-menu-january-3-8-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE MENU<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Befana \u2013 Italy\u2019s Own Christmas Story The story of La Befana has been an Italian classic since the thirteenth century.
