He comes in the evening of the 5th December and gives presents to well behaved children. Little rascals finally have a good reason to clean their shoes. They place them near the door for Mikuláš to fill them with sweets and fruit.]]> 2017-12-11 18:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/martinazemlickova/dr69dtknop03/wish/215142278 giovzito https://padlet.com/martinazemlickova/dr69dtknop03/wish/243087278 Italy is a historically Catholic culture with many holidays, traditions and beliefs coming from biblical and religious roots. We celebrate many more national holidays from the Christian religion than some other countries and therefore have more traditions for the holidays. We have Santa Claus and  we also believe in Old Saint Nick during Christmas. However, there’s another holiday we celebrate that has a similar concept of Santa with some similarities to Krampus from other European countries. Befana is a folklore tradition attached to a January holiday, but has some unusual characteristics that go along with it. ]]> 2018-03-17 15:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/martinazemlickova/dr69dtknop03/wish/243087278
