Question 2

Read the text and answer, in ENGLISH, the questions that follow.

La notte dell’Epifania, in molte parti d’Italia, i bambini aspettano regali.

Prima di andare a letto, mettono un calzino vicino al camino o fuori dalla finestrae quando si alzano lo trovano pieno di piccoli regali e dolci, se durante l’annosono stati buoni; se invece sono stati cattivi lo trovano pieno di carbone.

Chi porta queste cose? La Befana; un personaggio mitico che sembra una bruttavecchia che vola su una scopa per il cielo e va da tetto in tetto con un gran saccopieno di regali sulle spalle. Quando i bambini dormono la Befana scende giù dalcamino in silenzio, perchè nessuno deve vederla, e riempie le calze.

La Befana è una figura popolare molto amata dai ragazzi italiani. Il suo nomeviene dalla parola greca “ epiphaneia” che vuol dire “manifestazione della divinitàattraverso chiari segni.” Con il passare del tempo, attraverso il latino, siamoarrivati a “ Epifania” ed anche “ Befania.”

Oggi per i Cristiani, l’Epifania è la festa che ricorda la visita dei Re Magi a GesùBambino nella grotta di Betlemme; ma per i bambini il sei gennaio è soprattutto lafesta della Befana.
