St. Nicholas Day - celebrating the saint who inspired Santa Claus - December 6 - is celebrated across Europe in many different ways. Here in VRSA it was the official opening of the little Christmas village. The fact that the rain stopped on that day and late afternoon sun shone on the ceremony suggests divine intervention!
Happy Holidays! Thanks for the sharing the lovely photos! By the way, I read somewhere this week, that the nativity scenes do not have the baby in them, and the baby gets placed in the scene on 24 Dec. Not sure if this is true or not, but could explain the "difficult to see" baby... ;)
