Description
Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas. I encountered this St. Nicholas on a ship on the Linn River in Germany, on which ship we sampled several Bavarian beers and toasted the brew masters.
In April 2022, I visited Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Germany, and the Netherlands. This is one of a select group of photos from that 3 week trip. HaldaneCreativeArt.com is photography and digital art created by John Haldane of Asheville, North Carolina.
