12 days after every Christmas, freshman Coco Kalman and her family celebrate Epiphany Day, an Italian tradition that symbolizes the discovery that Jesus was the son of God. According to Kalman, at the root of the tradition is the story of a woman named La Befana, who gives gifts to children because she sees Jesus inside of them. “It’s a nice wrap-up of the holidays,” Kalman said. “It signifies moving on for me, and it’s just a fun thing to celebrate.”
