Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
