ABOUT US
Every year on December 6th, the day of St. Nicolas is celebrated in memory of the holy bishop of Myra.
The custom has been known since the thirteenth century.
Until the reformation, the ‘children’s bishop’ was the only bearer of gifts to children.
In many regions St. Nicolas is accompanied by two dark figures. In our region they are called ‘Schmutzli’.
St. Nicolas talks to the children, listens to their poems or songs and rewards them with a gift. To us, the St. Nikolaus-Gruppe Unterägeri, it is very important that this custom is kept alive within the families.

Here we have put together some useful suggestions for you to make sure the visit of St. Nicolas will be a wonderful and unforgettable event for your children :
-
Prepare the children for the visit of St. Nicolas so that they know who is coming
-
Visit with your children the welcoming event of St. Nicolas on Sunday November 27th in front of the Pfarrkirche Unterägeri at 17:00h
-
Give the visit a worthy surrounding
-
Let the children talk with St. Nicolas and hold back your remarks
-
St. Nicolas loves to hear poems, musical pieces or receive pictures and handicrafts
-
To make a pleasure does not mean to give big presents. A small bag with nuts and fruits is well enough. These can be bought ready made or you can fill them individually. Most tipicul content: Peanuts, nuts, mandarines, sweets, ginger-bread and figs. Place the bags in your letter box before the visit for Schmutzli to present it to the children later.
-
We ask you to open the window before the visit so that there is fresh air in the room. It is not necessary to heat up specially.
-
The visit of St. Nicolas should be a worthy event where we ask ourselves, how we can bring joy to others, just as the real Nicolas had done.
-
Please do not mix up St. Nicolas and Father Christmas!
