Hello everyone! Today, the 6th of January is the 12th day of Christmas:  the feast of the Epiphany . This holiday officially concludes the Catholic Christmas season and commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men. We also take down our Christmas decorations after this day. During the holidays, I took a break from working on true crime cases, but since this is the last day of the festive season, you can expect a new post, and video, very soon! In Italy, the Epiphany ( L'Epifania ) is also known as  La festa della Befana  (The feast of La Befana). In fact, the name Befana is a derivate of the Greek word  Epiphaneia . But who is she, and why is she associated with the feast of the Epiphany? In Italian folklore,  La Befana  is a wise woman gifted with magical powers. She crosses the skies on her flying broom,  bringing presents to the good children  like figs, nuts and sweets on the night of the eve of the Epiphany (the 5th).  To those who are spoiled, she leaves a piece of coal .

  Hello everyone! Today I will look at another true crime tale from Malta. So sit back as I recount the story of an elderly woman who was brutally murdered on Christmas Eve. The murder shocked the country, not only because the victim was an elderly woman, but because the killer had chosen Christmas Eve to commit this heinous crime. The crime was committed on the 24th of December, 1928, in the house of Grezz Attard, an elderly woman who lived alone in Triq San Mikiel, in Cospicua. A photo of a Christmas tree in the late 1920s ( source ) The victim was a wealthy woman, and the locals knew this about her. For this reason, the woman did not allow anyone to enter her home, except for some women to pray the rosary with her. Ġużeppi Zarb, Grezz's nephew, who had a bar in Valletta, also used to visit the house. It was Ġużeppi who was seen entering the house last on the day of the crime at around 3.30 p.m. Every day, a few women used to go to Grezz's to pray the rosary with her. That af
