January 6, is the feast of the Epiphany. This day is celebrated amongst Christians in Europe, mainly in Italy, Greece and Romania and it's a cherished tradition that marks the conclusion of the festive season. This day is steeped in religious significance, folklore, and family customs. The Befana (witch in Italian) is the symbol of the Epiphany, and with her of course is the black cat. Here is the fable of the Befana's cat πββ¬π§ββοΈπββ¬π§ββοΈ
Once upon a time, all cats were tabby, only one was black: he was the Befana's and accompanied her on her long journeys; riding on her broomstick, he saw wonderful places, but always from above. The cat sometimes wondered what life was like for humans: when the Epiphany period ended, he lived a kind of hibernation and slept with the witch all year long waiting for January 6th.
One night, the cat, on his journey around the world with the old woman, leaned out to try to see the world more closely, the sack was open and a gift flew away. After a while, the witch noticed: "Never had such a mistake happened in thousands of years of travel!" The cat was silent, but the old woman was magical and said: "Old cat, it was you, I am not angry... life has been boring and lonely with me. But this child must be given something: you will go and be his gift!" So the cat went down a chimney and when he arrived in the large hall he began to cough because of the ash and the family looked at him in amazement, but the child shouted with joy: "How nice, a friend all for me!" And the parents did not have the courage to separate them.
And from that day on the cats were no longer just tabby cats, because, thanks to that gift, there were black cats. And for this reason black cats bring good luck, because they are a gift from the magical night when dreams come true π€ #befana #blackcatsaregoodluck
