December 6th in most of Europe, is St. Nicholas Day. Children will find a potatoe or some chocolate in the shoe they left out last night.
St. Nicholas died on December 6th in 345. He was the Bishop of Myra. He spent his life doing good works and performing miracles. The Church made his a Saint. Even today his relics in the city Bari produce a substance, which is prized for it's healing properties.
He was very kind to children. Today he is known as Santa Claus.
So Santa Claus is REAL!!!
December morning
a child crosses her fingers
will she get a potatoe
Frosty streets
the old man in red carries a sack
for good children
A child finds
a potatoe in her shoe
soft crying
December morning
frost on a shoe
chocolate inside
In the doorway
my son's shoe stands
full of chocolate
his happy grin
also a puzzled expression
My shoe is outside
is it too big for St. Nickolas
to leave anything?
