The tradition celebrated on La Befana is one of Italian origin, and is similar to the American Christmas. The tradition revolves around the old woman, Befana, from Italian folklore who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve on the night of January 5th. Every year a festival is held to celebrate, where many Befanas appear, dancing, juggling, and greeting all the children. Going with the tradition, all Italian children may expect to find a lump of "coal" in their stockings, which is actually rock candy colored black with caramel coloring - since the idea is that every child has been at the very least occasionally bad during the year.
