Saint Nicholas comes to our area!

This is the only picture I got from the opening ceremony of the Christmas market in Aloetting, Germany (20 minutes outside Burghausen) this Friday evening.
Here is St. Nicholas at the Rathaus (City Hall) windows with his angels.  They had fireworks, a childrens choir, an adult choir, and a brass band wearing historic costume. It was very beautiful. After the market was officially open with its blazing fires, hot food booths and handmade crafts, The Saint walked through the crowd nodding to people and speaking to children.
