QR code
"De H. Nikolaas in het folklore" by Jos. Schrijnen is a scholarly work focused on the folklore surrounding Saint Nicholas, likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the customs, legends, and societal implications of the Saint Nicholas celebrations, examining both Christian and pre-Christian elements and their interconnections within folklore. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the significance and burgeoning interest in folklore as a scientific
study during this time, as reflected in the modern surroundings. Schrijnen provides a critical overview of previous scholarly views on the origins and meanings behind the folklore associated with Saint Nicholas. He emphasizes the complex interactions between Christian traditions and older, pagan customs that influence contemporary practices, setting a foundation for a deeper exploration of the rituals, symbols, and characters involved in the festivities, such as the distribution of gifts and mythical figures aligned with fertility and abundance in the winter holiday season.
