HOLIDAYS AROUND THE WORLD: ITALY Fun Traditions, Activities, and Much More! Christmas Traditions in Italy Christmas Celebrations One of the most important ways of celebrating Christmas in Italy is the Nativity crib scene. A lot of Italian families have a Nativity crib in their homes. The city of Naples in Italy is world-famous for its cribs and crib making. These are known as 'Presepe Napoletano' (meaning Neapolitan Cribs). Sometimes the Nativity scene is displayed in the shape of a pyramid which can be several feet tall! It's made of several tiers of shelves and is decorated with colored paper, gold-covered pinecones and small candles. A small star is often hung inside the top of the pyramid/triangle. The shelves above the manger scene might also contain fruit, candy, and presents. Epiphany is also important in Italy. On Epiphany night, children believe that an old lady called 'Befana' brings presents for them. Children put stockings up by the fireplace for Befana to fill. In parts of northern Italy, the Three Kings might bring you present rather than Befana. On Christmas day 'Babbo Natale' (Santa Claus) might bring them some small gifts, but the main day for present giving is on Epiphany. An old Italian custom is for children to go out carol singing and playing songs on shepherds pipes, wearing shepherds sandals and hats. Some families have a 'Ceppo' or Yule Log which is burnt through the Christmas season. Christmas Meal On Christmas Eve, it's common that no meat is eaten. Often a light seafood meal is eaten and then people go to the Midnight Mass service. When people return from Mass, a religious celebration, if it's cold, you might have a slice of Italian Christmas Cake called 'Panettone' which is like a dry fruity sponge cake and a cup of hot chocolate!

Christmas Workshop
Christmas traditions around the world Apostolos Varnavas Primary School Year 5B Christmas in Italy Here you could describe the topic of the section One of the best Italian Christmas traditions is that they celebrate for much longer than other countries. Their festive season starts on 8 December and it lasts until 6 January, the 12th day of Christmas, known as the Epiphany. Italians have many Christmas traditions. For example, they do not eat meat on Christmas Eve. Instead, they eat a variety of fish and pasta dishes. A popular Christmas tradition for those who live in Rome is visiting the Vatican for midnight mass with the Pope on Christmas Eve. In various Italian cities you will find men playing bagpipes in the squares and they are dressed as shepherds. This was based on the story of the shepherds who visited Jesus on the night of his birth and played the bagpipes for him. In Italy it is not only Santa who brings Christmas gifts. On 6 January, marking the end of the holiday season, there is a visit from the good witch and legend says that on this date she would fill stockings with candy for the good children and coal for the naughty children. Over Christmas, the Italians make Panettone and Pandoro, which are sweet bread. Italy at Christmas is incredibly beautiful! TheChristmasRussian Church celebrate inChristmas Russiaaccording to the Julian or the so-called old calendar ,which is about two weeks behind the modern calendar. For this reason, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January and not on the 25th of December.

(A traditional carol about the Befana) If you are a child in Italy there is a holiday after Christmas that brings an equivalent dose of excitement: the Epiphany. Greek for "to manifest,” the Epiphany marks the first appearance of the birth of Christ to the Gentiles. According to Christianity, on January 6, the 12th day of Christmas, the three Wise Men [2] arrived at the manger bearing gifts for Baby Jesus. That day, which marks the end of the Holiday Season, is also the day of the Befana, a good witch that fills childrens’ stockings with sweets or coal. Here is where Catholic tradition and Italian folklore collide. According to tradition, the three Wise Page 1 of 3 The Feast of the Befana Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Men, before arriving at the manger, stopped at a shack for directions. An old woman holding a broom opened the door, they invited her to come along, but she declined.
