St. Nicholas Day is associated with St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, one of the most revered saints in Christianity. He lived in the IV century in the city of Mira (now the territory of Turkey) and was famous for his kindness, generosity and love for people. Legends say that he secretly helped those in need: he put coins in the shoes of poor children, saved sailors from storms and protected the innocent.
Over time, the tradition of leaving gifts in shoes spread throughout Europe. Children and adults began to put clean shoes at the door on the eve of holiday, and in the morning they found sweets, nuts or small surprises in them. It is a symbol of faith in goodness and miracles.
In a world where everything is changing so fast, St. Nicholas Day is an opportunity to stop, smile and give your loved ones a little joy.
