The children could not spend the Nikolausfest at home and so I could at least put a smile on their face," the volunteer Nikolaus actor told Today.at .
During his visit, the Nicholas told the children of various legends from his life, including the famous "grain miracle", which took place in Myra in the 4th century, part of today's Türkiye.
