EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magical moment when Saint Nicolas, the patron saint of sailors and children, rides into a quaint Dutch village on his white horse, signaling the approaching Christmas season. Dating back to the 14th century, this annual custom, known as "Sinterklaas" in the Netherlands, is deeply rooted in the regional history and traditions of Holland. In this image, taken in 1935, Saint Nicolas, dressed in his traditional red bishop's robe and mitre, is surrounded by his helpers, the Zwarte Pieten or "Black Peters," who distribute candies and small gifts to the children lining the streets. The horse-drawn carriage, adorned with holly and ivy, adds to the festive atmosphere as the procession makes its way through the picturesque village. The arrival of Saint Nicolas is a cherished tradition in the Netherlands, where families gather to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season. This photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this annual custom, which continues to be celebrated in the Netherlands and other regions with Dutch heritage. As the sun sets behind the village, the warm glow of the lanterns and the twinkling lights create an enchanting scene, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more magical era. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring power of tradition but also a reminder of the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings to us all.
