St. Nicholas oder “Nikolaus” in German is considered the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants and travelers. In many cultures, it is customary for children to leave their polished boots or shoes outside the door on the night of December 5-6. St. Nicholas, often depicted with a red coat, mitre and a sack full of presents, is then said to come during the night and fill the boots with sweets, nuts and small gifts.
But did you know, for example, that St. Nicholas was Bishop of Myra in Turkey in the 4th century? And have you heard the heart-warming legend of how he threw gold nuggets through a poor father’s window to save his daughters from poverty? It is stories like these about his charity that make St. Nicholas a heroic figure.
This special family Santa Claus quiz or Nikolaus Quiz in German contains questions that are a fun challenge for both young and old.
Let’s get to know Nikolaus a little better together. This is a quiz for the whole family, combining fun and knowledge. So make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a hot cocoa and a large portion of speculoos and prove your guessing skills with some of your family!
