A display of cribs lent by numerous villagers was expertly laid out within the church and a large number of people visited to enjoy them. Refreshments included gluhwein, pfefferkucken, stollen and other traditional delicacies used in countries where the feast of St Nicholas is more celebrated.
Angels made by local children were suspended above the cribs. The church looked magnificent.
‘St Nicholas’ opened the proceedings by distributing gold ‘money’ to the children.
