Epiphany and La Befana Day in Italy

January: The Power of Ideas


The word of the day:  sweep away (phrasal verb)/swiːp əˈweɪ/

Meaning: to remove/delete something completely.

Example: La Befana uses her broom to sweep away the past year's troubles, bringing good luck.

*La Befana Day comes from an old legend about a kind old woman who brings gifts to children. It is an important cultural tradition that mixes history, religion, and family celebrations, with festivals, sweets, and special markets in many Italian towns.
