| 520 | _a"St. Nicholas" by George H. McKnight is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and legacy of St. Nicholas, the bishop whose story has laid the foundation for many popular customs and the figure of Santa Claus. McKnight aims to illuminate the amiable nature of St. Nicholas and how his acts of generosity have influenced cultural celebrations and traditions related to Christmas. The opening of "St. Nicholas" introduces the author's personal journey into understanding the influence and significance of St. Nicholas, igniting a respect and affection for the figure. McKnight begins by reflecting on how St. Nicholas is celebrated in various cultures, particularly in Belgium and the Netherlands, where his festival on December 6th serves as a children’s celebration rich with gift-giving traditions that contrast with the Christmas festivities in many other regions. The text indicates a shift in focus from the saint's historical roots to his impact on Christmas customs, emphasizing the dichotomy between secular and religious celebrations throughout history.
