Czech Advent Tradition that SHOCKS Foreigners

What seems to Czechs like an innocent advent tradition is sometimes a shocking surprise to Prague travelers. When they see Czech parents bringing their children to monsters that sometimes scare away even the adults, a lot of questions arise. We are here to answer them :) St. Nicholas is a prototype of Santa Claus, and on the 5th of December, he comes to visit Czech kids to bring them small gifts. There is a twist to this story though...St. Nicholas has always got company. Every Czech kid knows that a grandpa in white and red clothing will bring a scary friend with him, and this friend is the devil himself! Woah, this escalated quickly! St. Nicholas will be evaluating the child's behavior in the past year, and if the child was bad, the devil will take him away. Have no fear, there is someone who will save Czech children from being kidnapped to hell Socials Facebook:   / 100spires   Instagram:   / realpragueguides   Tours we do in Prague Free Old Town, Jewish Quarter and Charles Bridge Tour https://www.tours-prague.eu/tour-free...
