Il 6 Gennaio si celebra l’Epifania, festività religiosa e profana che nelle varie culture si accompagna a simboli e tradizioni diverse, di derivazioni antiche e moderne: la Stella Cometa che accompagna i Re Magi, le feste popolari, la tradizione dei regali e dei dolcetti ai bambini nella calza.
Il 6 Gennaio 2023 cade quest’anno di venerdì, ma si potrà comunque approfittare del primo fine settimana di Gennaio per chiudere le festività natalizie trascorrendo quale giorno di vacanza in Umbria.
