Children in
Vrhnika have a special way of greeting St. Nicholas and his company in early
December. The procession of children and their parents and all those who are
attracted by the magic of the event, is gathered at St. Leonard’s Church (Church Sv. Lenart), a few
steps away from the Cankar Memorial House. Numerous participants with torches
and homemade lanterns then, at the appointed hour, walk the path to the top of
Holy Trinity Hill. The sight at the moving line of fire lights is really
something special … But of course, the greatest joy for the children is the
moment when the old man with the grey beard steps through the front doors of
Holy Trinity Church and walk among the crowd.
