STORY OF THE
STOCKINGS
“The stockings were hung
oy the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there . . .”
It’s not known how this '.
tradition got its start, but i
there is a lovely legend
about the custom’s be- i
ginning.
It seems that in the town ,
where the “first” Saint |
Nicholas lived, there was
a merchant who had three
daughters who were not ,
married. In those days, the
4th century, a maiden had i
to have a dowry before she
could marry. And the mer-
chant was bankrupt.
Nicholas, who was then a,
boy, heard of their plight.
He went to the house late
one night and dropped three
bags of gold down the chim-
ney. They fell into the girls’
stockings which were hang-
ing by the fireplace to dry.
The gold was enough for
the girls’ dowry so they
were married and lived hap-
pily ever after taking care-
of their poor Jather as well.
