What is St. Nicholas' Day?
Celebrate Dec 6th
Saint Nicholas was renowned for his great kindness and his generous aid to those in distress. He is considered the patron saint of children and sailors, among others.
Traditional celebrations of Saint Nicholas Day in Northern Europe included gifts left in children's shoes. Good children receive treats - candies, cookies, apples and nuts, while naughty children receive switches or lumps of coal. Sometimes coins were left in the shoes,
Today - especially in families of German extraction - children still put a shoe outside their bedroom doors on the eve of Saint Nicholas Day, and expect to find candy and coins or small gifts in their shoe on December 6th. | |
