Did St. Nikolaus always bring gifts by land? Today, we stand before St. Nikolaus in Dusseldorf. It’s a place steeped in tradition, especially regarding St. Nicholas Day. St. Nikolaus in Dusseldorf has a unique connection to this beloved holiday. Children eagerly anticipate St. Nicholas’s arrival every year on December 6th. What’s remarkable about the Dusseldorf celebration is that St. Nicholas arrives by Rhine River cruise. He travels along the river before disembarking and greeting the waiting children. Accompanied by two donkeys, Charly and Lilly, and a youth brass band, he then visits St. Lambertus Basilica and the town hall. Children receive gifts from St. Nicholas at these locations, continuing a long-standing Dusseldorf tradition. The image of St. Nicholas arriving by boat, rather than the traditional sleigh or on horseback, makes the Dusseldorf celebration truly special. It’s a heartwarming spectacle that adds a unique twist to a cherished holiday.
