home.When Saint Nicholas was very young he was

Bishop ofMyra, a city in Turkey. Most people say that Saint Nicholas comes from Spain. But as you maybe will know, he comes from Turkey!

This party was meant to chase away evil winter spirits and to welcome the spring.When it’s Carnival in Roosendaal, Roosendaal named Tullepetaonestad. It’s a funny name!Each year a Prince, Sjampetter and Nar is chosen. They are the important persons of the Carnival!
