Holy Heroes Advent Adventure – Day 7

PARENTS: Please note that in the video, we describe the link between Santa Claus and St. Nicholas. Please review the video for yourself before you show it to your children to determine whether it fits with your family’s approach to Santa.

Today is also the memorial of St. Nicholas! A “memorial” is a lesser sort of feast day, so many Catholics just call them “feast days.” St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children so, on the night before his feast day, the Holy Heroes children put out their shoes by the fireplace, and overnight St. Nicholas will leave them some small toys, candy, or money.

We don’t do anything too fancy for our St. Nicholas gifts—something small enough to fit in a little child’s shoe like chocolate kisses, hair ribbons, or a little bag of coins is more than enough!

Here are three quick things about today’s page:

1. Today’s Advent Adventure videos are about St. Nicholas, the Angelus (audio only), and the 5th Joyful Mystery.
2. Today’s Jesse Tree video is about Isaac, son of Abraham.
3. Today’s resources include activities, coloring pages, and more!
