La Befana Rag Doll | Italian Epiphany Doll & Christmas Tradition
Celebrate one of Italy’s most beloved holiday traditions with this La Befana Rag Doll, a sweet cloth doll inspired by the kind old woman from Italian folklore who brings treats and small gifts to children on the eve of the Epiphany, January 6.
Crafted from quality linen fabric, this 15-inch La Befana doll features printed facial details with a gentle expression, soft gray hair, a bright red scarf, and Old World village-style clothing. She holds her broom close, just as she does in the traditional Italian story.
Place La Befana on a mantel, shelf, Christmas tree, or holiday display to keep the Italian Epiphany tradition alive in your home. She is a meaningful Christmas and Epiphany gift for Italian-American families, children, grandparents, collectors, and anyone who loves Italian folklore and heritage.
This exclusive La Befana rag doll is modeled after the character in The Night of La Befana, written by Maria Centofanti and illustrated by Isabella Centofanti. Designed by Isabella Centofanti and sold exclusively at Italian Children’s Market.
La Befana comes in a plain muslin drawstring bag printed with “Buona Epifania,” perfect for storing her safely until she visits again next January 6.
