The Polish name of the holiday in honor of Saint Nicholas, Bishop Mira, celebrated on December 6 in Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Until the 19th century it was a day off work in Poland. In 1969, in the Catholic Church, the feast was abolished, it is only the so-called any memory. From the Middle Ages on the eve of that day Saint Nicholas (actually a person dressed up for him) brought gifts to children. Nowadays, in Poland, at night, small gifts, small toys and, above all, sweets are put to children. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, giving children gifts in his holiday Santa, was transformed into a fairy-tale character giving away gifts on Christmas, used in mass culture.
