Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Königsfeld is dedicated, is - along with Saint Martin - probably one of the most popular saints of all. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - is probably familiar with his day of remembrance, December 6th.
On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes and boots in front of the door - which were of course cleaned with great care - so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In agricultural areas it was also customary for children to provide a small donation of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a gray horse).

We were there during the Christmas season and were able to marvel at the lovingly designed crib. A special highlight.
