EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the traditional German Christmas custom of Saint Nicolas, or Nikolo, distributing presents to children. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this European tradition predates the modern-day American Santa Claus. In Germany, Saint Nicolas is depicted as a bishop dressed in red robes and a mitre, carrying a staff and accompanied by Knecht Ruprecht, a helper dressed in black with a bundle of birch rods. The scene in this image takes place on the eve of Saint Nicolas Day, December 6th, when children would put their shoes out by the fireplace or by the door, hoping to find them filled with small treats, nuts, or fruit the next morning. Saint Nicolas would visit homes during the night, leaving gifts for the well-behaved children and a rod for those who had misbehaved. This photograph, estimated to be taken around 1905, shows the warm and heartfelt connection between Saint Nicolas and the children, as he distributes presents with a loving and fatherly smile. The children, dressed in their best clothes, eagerly reach out to receive their gifts, their faces filled with excitement and joy. The scene is a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder of the holiday season and the importance of giving and kindness.
