St. Nicholas Day, Monday December 5
The tradition of St. Nicholas is not synonymous with the role of Santa Claus in North America. As practiced in many European countries, the celebration of St. Nicholas is separate from the Christmas holidays, and occurs during the 2 weeks prior to December 6th, which is St. Nicholas's day. Sometimes St. Nicholas Day is the main holiday for gift giving, and not Christmas.
On the eve of St. Nicholas Day (Dec. 5th this year) many children place a shoe or boot by the fireplace in hopes that it will be filled with delicious holiday edibles in the morning. If they have not been good, their shoe is filled with twigs.
We invite all children to come to the Toronto Christmas Market on the eve of St. Nicholas Day and share in the tradition.
Please join us at 6pm for an official appearance by St. Nicholas himself, arriving on his white horse, and hear the tales of this special tradition."
