St. Nicholas Day | Description, History, & Traditions | Britannica
St. Nicholas Day is the feast day (December 6) of St. Nicholas, the 4th-century bishop of Myra. Although St. Nicholas has become nearly indistinguishable from the Christmas figure of Santa Claus, some places have maintained St. Nicholas Day as a time when children are given special cookies, candies, and gifts.
