Why they are doing this? On this day children get presents from St.Nickolas. But not everyone gets good presents. kot_murkot_14 https://padlet.com/kot_murkot_14/qrov2k73u102/wish/143474678 2016-12-13 19:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kot_murkot_14/qrov2k73u102/wish/143474678 St. Nicholas it is a Ukrainian analogue of Santa Claus. He comes with his entourage. He is accompanied by two angels and two devils. The first should report to his patron of the good children, while the others whisper about the bad events. The winner is always good: none of the children left without gifts. He was distinguished by love and compassion for people. He helps poor and disadvantaged, gives almost all his possessions and stays only with the most necessary items. Due to his gentleness and kindness Nicholas gained great love of people. kot_murkot_14 https://padlet.com/kot_murkot_14/qrov2k73u102/wish/143475389 2016-12-13 19:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kot_murkot_14/qrov2k73u102/wish/143475389 In our school we always celebraite this holiday.
