Old Befana's Endless Tales Donna Kendall

She's not really a witch, nor is she an angel. She is a legend in her own right - her name is Befana and her legend began when a newborn king named Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. On the night he was born, a bright star appeared in the sky and three wise men followed the star to where they might find the manifestation of so many prophecies. Befana discovered their journey and decided to leave everything behind and follow this extraordinary quest in search of the Son of God. Along the way, Befana encounters many children; she does not know which child is the Christ but she learns more about him with each new encounter. After Kind Herod sought to destroy the newborn king, Befana's mission took on a new role, to help save children from the forces that can destroy their childhood. In this new collection of stories, Befana meets many new characters: an aging man afraid of changes, a nun who is torn between her vocation and her passion, a young boy who feels lost and alone, and a homeschooled teenager who is curious about how the rest of the world lives. Join Old Befana as she mingles into the lives of these new friends and discover more about her journey and her mission as she befriends a child of God with every person she meets.
