EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, Saint Nicolas, also known as Sinterklaas or Saint Nicholas, is seen arriving in a Dutch village by canal in the 1930s. Accompanied by his helper Zwarte Piet, or Black Peter, the saint distributes gifts to the excited crowd of children. Saint Nicolas, a historical figure believed to have lived in the 4th century in Myra, Turkey, is the patron saint of children and sailors. In the Netherlands, his arrival marks the beginning of the Christmas season. The legend goes that he sails from Spain with his helpers on a steamship, arriving in the Netherlands in late November. Zwarte Piet, a figure shrouded in controversy in recent years due to his blackened face and allegedly negative portrayal, is said to help Saint Nicolas distribute presents to the children. According to the tradition, he would reward the well-behaved children with sweets, while the naughty ones would receive a lump of coal or a rod to be chastised. The image captures the joy and excitement of the Dutch people as they welcome the arrival of their beloved saint. The canal, a significant mode of transportation in the Netherlands, adds to the regional charm and authenticity of the scene. The crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly await their turn to receive a gift from Saint Nicolas, while Zwarte Piet looks on with a mischievous grin. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and unique customs of the Netherlands, providing a glimpse into the past and preserving the traditions of Saint Nicolas and Zwarte Piet for future generations.
