St. Nicolas Day - 6th December


St. Nicholas Day - in fact Santa Claus Day -  is celebrated on the 6th of December in Poland. It’s a day, when people give their family and friends candies and small gifts.  Also students at Polish schools give presents to each other. It’s a happy daytime.
 
 
 
This day is celebrated in honor of St. Nicholas, a bishop from Myra in Turkey. He was a rich man who shared his wealth with the poor.
 
 
 
 
The legend says that he used to give presents to those children who put clean shoes outside the door.  When the shoes were dirty a kid didn’t get a present.


Remembering St. Nicholas we put our present into clean socks J
