  4. Thánh Nicholas chính là nguyên mẫu lịch sử của hình tượng ông già Noel quen thuộc. 🎅 Qua nhiều thế kỷ, hình ảnh này đã không ngừng biến đổi và lan tỏa toàn cầu nhờ sự nhào nặn của văn học, hội họa và các chiến dịch quảng cáo hiện đại.

  6. O, kom er eens kijken
    A #poetry thread

    i.

    A bearded man in miter red
    walks through the streets of cobblestone,
    a Christmas market, where he said
    to children from his wooden throne

    that on the Sixth, his day had come
    to bring them cheer and happiness
    from distant Turkey, his old home
    that once he'd saved with his kindness:

  11. "The Feast of St. Nicholas," Jan Steen, 1665-8.

    Steen (1626-79) was famous for his scenes of everyday life, which were both sentimental but also humorous.

    In this Yuletide scene, the good little girl has a bucket of treats, while the sobbing brother has none...but grandmother seems to be beckoning to him from the back, hinting she may have a surprise for him. Another brother points up the chimney to amaze a youngster. There's a miniature still life in the lower left corner, and an assortment of goodies here and there. One child holds a gingerbread man in the form of St. Nicholas himself.

    The scene is chaotic and jumbled, a hallmark of Steen's work, and many feel it was his way of depicting the society of the time. There's also a possible hint of darkness. The little girl's doll is John the Baptist; an odd selection for a child's toy. Some scholars have noted that John the Baptist is the patron of epileptics, and perhaps that it's an indication the girl has convulsions and that he's meant to watch over her.

    Scenes of everyday life were popular in the Netherlands at the time, and Steen was popular for his visual storytelling & his tendency to poke gentle fun at society.

    From the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

  20. Watch out, Krampus is on his way!
    I hope you've been good enough that he won't catch you.
    Have a wonderful St. Nicholas Day anyway!

  25. On the evening before #StNicholas Day, children in #Germany put a freshly polished shoe outside the door to find it filled with nice things the next morning. That is, if they have been good, otherwise they only get coal…

    So I set my alarm clock and interrupted my beauty sleep to sneak through the hallway and place some #chocolate in front of the door of the child on the first floor. Of course, this officially made me St. Nicholas, and I was entitled to the #biscuits left for him. 😌
