St. Nicholas & Ruprecht Visit OSS

12/3/2014

 
Picture
The children have been delighted by their visit today by St. Nicholas and Ruprecht! Each child has received a special treat and personal message. We thank all our faculty and parents who worked so diligently to make this visit so special.


In German tradition, the benevolent St Nicholas is usually accompanied on his journeys by Knecht Ruprecht (Farmhand Ruprecht), who helps and watches out for the saint. It is Ruprecht who in historical narratives gives naughty children lumps of coal, instead of the sweets and gifts passed out by the saint.
