Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Martin. Almost every child should know his commemoration day, December 6th. On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door – which of course had to be cleaned with great care – so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to provide a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal.
