Saint Nicolas Eve

Erasmus Evening: Saint Nicolas Eve

Saint Nicolas Eve

We would love to invite you for our special Erasmus evening — St. Nicholas eve! Every year on the eve of Saint Nicolas day, groups of three people in costumes are roaming the streets. They are the angel, the devil and Saint Nicolas…

You will have an opportunity to be part of one of the most typical Czech traditions. This day is especially devoted to children, who are usually scared of this day as all their bad and good actions of the last year will be reviewed by Saint Nicholas. We invited St. Nicholas, the Angel and the Devil to let you experience this tradition like Czech children do — so get ready for this special evening and come!

PLEASE NOTE: The actual Saint Nicolas Eve takes place on 5th December, but as this event is part of Erasmus Evening (EE) series, it takes places on Thursday (30th November) as usual. After experiencing this evening, you will have a chance to understand properly what is happening on 5th December and maybe even take part actively as of the many angels, devils and Nicolases 😉
