Saint Nicholas' Day brings to the forefront the figure of Moș Nicolae, celebrated on December 6, when children prepare their boots for gifts. The custom of giving presents comes from ancient legends about the kindness of Saint Nicholas, who helped a needy family. The tradition has evolved, and gifts have become more varied, from simple food items to toys and sweets.


Moș Nicolae is often depicted on a white horse, symbolizing the first snow. On the morning of December 6, children who have not behaved well may find a twig, a symbol of correcting behavior. In Europe, traditions vary, but all emphasize moral values and generosity, with Moș Nicolae being a symbol of kindness and giving.
