Saint Nicholas (4th Day 79)

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Today, December 6th, is the Feastday of St. Nicholas, or St. Nicholas Day. In Germany (and most of Europe), the tradition is that on this day children would leave their shoes outside on the doorstep. Soon, St. Nicholas would come by and fill their shoes with candy if they had been good, or coal if they had been not so good.

Such traditions are wonderful and call us to remember the heritage of the Church.
