In France St. Nicholas day, Decem-
Der 6, is celebrated as fete day for
children, and in parts Of southern Ger
many, that day is celebrated as a pre-
liminary to Christmas. Sometimes
here, St. Nicholas is represented as a
bishop who talks to both parents ana
children, tells the children to be good
and asks them what they would like
for Christmas. In south Austria, the
eve Of st. Nicholas day is the season
for gift making. Here the saint is &C
companied by both angels and devils,
the angels carrying a bag or basket,
while the devils, who are left for a
time at the threshold Of the house,
must content themselves by making an
amazing amount Of noise. Later the
devils are allowed to enter the house
to perform strange dances.
The great church celebration Of the
festival Of St. Nicholas is at Bari, }
seaport on the southeastern coast OF
Italy. Here is a fine church dedicated
to St. Nicholas, in the vaults OF which
the bones Of the saint are said to be
preserved. On December many pill
grims visit the church. A feature Of
the occasion is the procession Of tht

saints image, carrying it far out to sea
and returning it at nightfall, to tht

0rlnInal q, NicholAe

Newark, N. j.. News: VINO was the
real St. Nicholas? And how, through
The centuries has he come to be re-
garded as the patron saint Of children
at Christmastide
Parents who talk Of Santa Claus to
their children describing the journey
Of the fat, jolly visitor from his home
in the far, frozen north, to distribute
gifts with lavish hand, may be inter-
ested in knowing that our twelfth ce,I-
tury Kris Kringle dates back to holy
man who lived in the fourth century
before Christ Fortunate is he among
saints to have hfs name so perpetu-
ated.
St. Nicholas was archbishop Of Myra,
in Lycia. a division OF Asia Minor
bordering on the Mediterranean. Many
wonderful stories are told Of his good
ness and piety. even in his extreme
youth. At an early age ne entered the
monastery of Sion, in time being made
its abbot and holding this position un-
til he became archbishop.
His day in church observance is De
cemher 9th, the date Of his death. In
some countries it is this day rather
than Christmas that is marked by the
bestowal of gifts.
1t was as archbishop that the quail
ties that have made st. Nicholas's
name honored and loved came into
special prominence. He was noted for
his charity and for humble spirit
leading him to conceal the source Of
the good actions flowing from him.
lie was very rich in his own right,
thu. having opportunity to dispense
many present especially to the needy.
Story after story is related OF his COM
| ing to the aid OF people in distress.
Miraculous occurrences enter into
what has come down to us about him.
! For example, he is considered the p&i-
ron saint Of sailors, because he is said
once to have stilled a storm when
| iourneying to the Holy Land. He is
also known as a patron OF serfs be-
cause of the protection that he gave
the weak, the oppressed and the poor.
| 1t is scarcely surprising that in view
Of these things, he was adopted by
! Russia as patron saint. But, over
| and above all else, his title to distinc-
| ton rests in his love for children and
| his efforts to make them happier. 1t
| is because of one special act Of gen
| erosity by which he enabled certain
nobleman to make provision for three
| daughters, that the name OF the saint
became associated with the making OF
| gifts especially to the young.
| So his fame spread, the people OF
| different countries attributing to him
such national characteristics as would
make him familiar figure to the
youth Of each land.

cnces that we principally owe our idea
