It's St. Nicholas Day! Some children in Europe awoke to discover treats left by St. Nicholas. A few fortunate children have started the month of gift getting- St. Nicholas on December 6, Santa Claus on Dec 24, and ending with Baboushka and the Three Wise Men on January 6th. Multi-culturalism at its finest.
A GALILEO Quick Search limited to Arts and Humanities using Saint Nicholas turned up hits in Ancestry.com (only available on campus). After looking just a bit into the results, I realized- Nicholas was the word pulling up hits.
A second GALILEO Quick Search limited to Arts and Humanities using "Saint Nicholas" (the quotes do make a difference) turned up a variety of articles in 17 different databases. It is interesting to select the databases (along the right hand side) and see what articles they have. Yes, Ancestry.com still shows up with "Saint Nicholas. "
Encyclopedia Britannica produced an article on Saint Nicholas and Saint Nicholas Day .
That's the information I really wanted. The Encyclopedia has the facts!
