Discover St. Nicholas Day with GASTexpo

7. 12. 2023

Did you know that the first known descriptions of St Nicholas' Day in Slovenia date all the way back to 1839? Some of the customs of St Nicholas' Day were a little different to those of today, but most of them have survived to the present day.

St. Nicholas

Before the Second World War, the invisible St. Nicholas used to come to children's homes at night to give them presents, bringing (dried) fruit, nuts, pastries and sweets to rural children and toys, books, school supplies and winter clothes to urban children. And they all usually get a wooden stick. Nowadays, children receive more material gifts, and adults rarely attend the St. Nicholas dance as they used to. There are fewer and fewer St. Nicholas fairs.

But one thing remains the same – there is always the smell of baking and sweets during the festive season.

The most famous are the sweet St. Nicholas Krampuses, St. Nicholases or leavened bread angels. In recent years, St. Nicholas honey cakes and St. Nicholas cakes with dried fruit have also appeared.
