St. Nicholas Eve is a holiday celebrated in many countries around the world to commemorate the life of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children. It is usually celebrated on the 5th or 6th of December and is sometimes referred to as 'Father Christmas' or 'Santa Claus Day'. Originally, St. Nicholas was a 4th century Greek Bishop in Myra and was renowned for his generous spirit and for performing miracles. He was later adopted by other regions and cultures and thus eventually evolved into the legend of Santa Claus. On St. Nicholas Eve, many people observe the tradition of leaving gifts for children in their shoes, hats, or stockings. Churches may host special services on this evening and some cities host large-scale parades and festivals. If you want to join the celebration, why not check out a St. Nicholas Eve trivia template?
