| About Saint Nicholas' Eve |
| Saint Nicholas is the common name for Nicholas of Myra. He is a saint and Bishop of Myra. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. He is traditionally identified as a 4th century bishop of Myra in Asia Minor. He is the subject of many lagends. He saved a poor man family from the prostitution by giving three bags of gold to the daughters of a poor man. In the Netherlands St. Nicholas’s feast is a children’s holiday which is on December 6 annually. It is the day especially important in the Netherlands. It is called as Sinterklaas.
