When I was a child we had a small present at New year from Queen Bafarna (no idea how to spell it). Has anyone else heard of this custom?

Do you mean La Befana?

She was the sort of witch in Italian folk-lore that brought toys to the good children and left a lump of coal for the naughty ones on the epiphany (Jan 6th)

How interesting! Yes, it must be linked to that story. Befana has got the sound of epiphany in it to me.
A very timely answer, brachiopod. Thank you so much.
