The Christmas ball “Saint Nicholas” carries the belief in goodness and miracles, the true joy of giving a present and receiving!
Do you remember eagerly awaiting a gift from Saint Nicholas, checking under the pillow dozens of times, and finally falling asleep, exhausted from exciting thoughts: 'What will I see tomorrow morning?' And as we grew older, we tried to sneak in to see when Saint Nicholas would come.
For all of us, both adults and children, there is always a desire to believe in miracles. We hope that the hand-painted Christmas ball depicting an authentic Saint Nicholas in a colorful cape and a sack embroidered with stars will bring the festive spirit to your home.
In Ukraine, there are many traditions for celebrating Saint Nicholas Day. In the villages of Slobozhanshchyna, it was common to gather together after the church and brew beer. For children, special cookies called “Mykolaychyky” were prepared for this holiday. In the Kharkiv region, there was a tradition of celebrating a three-day festivity for Saint Nicholas, preparing kutia and uzvar. In Podillya, they awaited the 'polaznyk' — a person with positive energy, who should enter the house first. One thing remains unchanged — the desire to give a present.
