He became the patron saint of the "travelling people" and also a saint of the
thieves and criminals. The women giving birth and all the lovers also called
to him to assure himself of his assistance. His feast day, the 6th
December, is first detectable in Naples in the West. St.
Nicholas is in episcopal robes with book and staff and
miter shown. Three golden apples are the attributes of the saint who
usually lie on the book in the bishop's hand.
As an entourage from the HI. Nicholas comes before the Krampus. the
Krampus hunt themselves on the eve of December 5th (Krampus Day)
through the villages (Krampus run), still untamed by St. Nicholas
its appearance, so has the saying around Eichkögl
manifested: "Leave out Krampus at the Nikolauskapelle!"
