Welcome, Cacasenno; post early, post often.
The Befana is often disguised in the US as the Kitchen Witch. This gets her into many neighborhoods with minimal difficulty
(although I have family who blanch at such debbil things).
Etymonline gives
Epiphany
c.1310, "festival of the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles" (celebrated Jan. 6; usually with a capital -E-), from O.Fr. epiphanie, from L.L. epiphania, neut. pl. (taken as fem. sing.), from Gk. epiphaneia "manifestation, striking appearance" (in N.T., advent or manifestation of Christ), from epiphanes "manifest, conspicuous," from epiphainein "to manifest, display," from epi- "on, to" + phainein "to show." Of divine beings other than Christ, first recorded c.1667; general literary sense appeared 1840, first in De Quincey.
There's also an unexpected link to
Tiffany
Theophania "Theophany," another name for the Epiphany, from Gk. theophania "the manifestation of a god."
