Circle of Seasons Charter School

St. Nicholas visited each of our second graders this weekend #SaintNicholasDay * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In the book An Overview of the Waldorf Kindergarten as edited by Joan Almon, this is written about the role of Saint Nicholas during Advent: (Saint Nicholas) is an archetypal figure of heavenly wisdom and is the forerunner of Santa Claus, whose very name is reminiscent of St. Nicholas. Santa Claus, however, is a more earth-bound, incarna...ted figure who dwells with elves in the North Pole. Though he, too, if full of love for the children, his gifts are more of a material nature, even though he comes on Christmas Eve, a time of profound spiritual giving. One can understand how he arose in our more materialistic, secular age, and one can hold him a positive way for the sake of the children who love him so, but one can also create a place in the Advent season to bring the original, more heavenly St. Nicholas to the children.
