Hanaʻia kaʻahaʻaina o St. Nicholas i ka lā 19 o Dekemaba. Eia kekahi, aia kekahi lā kauwela o Nicholas, kahi e kū nei i ka lā 22 o Mei.
Saint Nicholas a me kāna mau mea kupaianaha
ʻO nā Kristiano Orthodox e mahalo iā Nicholas i ka Mea Hoʻohanohano e like me kekahi o nā Mākaʻi koʻikoʻi ma hope o ka makuahine o ke Akua.
ʻO ka manawa o Nicholas ka Wonderworker e wehe mau ana i nā kānaka. Ma nā hana maikaʻi o ka Mea Hemolele, he mau'ōlelo leʻaleʻa e'ōlelo ana ua kōkuaʻo ia i ka poʻeʻilihune a me ka poʻe pōʻino, a hūnā malū nā keiki i nā'āpana a me kaʻai i nā kāmaʻa ma hope o ka puka. ʻO Nicholas ka Wonderworker ka luna hoʻomalu a me nā luina.
E like me kāna mau pule, ua loaʻa ka hōʻailona kupaianaha,ʻo ka ho'ōlaʻana mai ka make mai, uaʻino kaʻino i ke kai,ʻo ka makani ka mea i lawe i ka moku ma ke ala pololei. Uaʻike ka Ekalesia i nā mea he nui i ka wā e pule ai nā pule i St. Nicholas a ma hope o kona makeʻana i mau hana mana.
I ka lā o St. Nicholas ka Wonderworker, he mea pono eʻoluʻolu i ka poʻe aloha i ka nānā a me ka makanaʻuhane, e hāʻawi manawaleʻa.
St. Nicholas - Ka lā Katolika
I Europa, hoʻomaka nā lā Kalikimaka i ka lā 6 o Dekemaba, a hauʻoli ka Mele Kalikimaka ma ka lā 25. A aia ma ka lā 6 o Dekemaba ka hoʻomaikaʻiʻana o ka Ekalesia Katolika iā St. Nicholas ka Wonderworker, ka mea pale pule o nā kamaliʻi'ōpiopio a me nā huakaʻi hele.
Ma ka hopena o ke kenekulia 10, i kēia lā hauʻoli,ʻo St. Nicholas Day, hāʻawiʻia nā haumāna o ka hale Parisa ma ka Hale Kalikanaʻo Cologne. Ma hope iki o kēlā me kēia hale i Kelemānia, hoʻomaka lākou e kau i nā pūkuʻi a me nā kāmaʻa, kahi i hāʻawi aiʻo St. Nicholas i nā makana no nā keiki hoʻolohe. Eia naʻe, i ka lā o ka lā hoʻomaha, ua ho'āʻo nā keiki a pau iʻole e lapuwale, no lailaʻaʻohe mea e waiho me ka makanaʻole.
Ua hoʻolaha kokeʻia kēia loina i waena o nā Katolika maʻEulopa. Ma ka mahaloʻana iā St. Nicholas Katolika, piʻi maila me kahi kanaka e like me Santa Claus , ka mea nāna i lawe i nā makana a hoʻokō i nā makemake hūnā.
