Saint Nicholas

The Saint Nicholas Story
Saint Nicholas builds floating aeries,
near the tops of Christmas trees,
that only the angels and fairies can see.
He is a sage reader of sorts,
he will be your guide and transport,
for roads with no maps or paved course.
He is moved by an immortal song,
heard only by hearts that have lived on,
with a beat that bonds and holds strong.
He lithely glides like a bird,
without a sound or a word,
through the needles of his chosen firs.
He will brighten every advent night,
highlighted by star, moon and tree lights,
from dusk ’til the new day’s light.
Saint Nicholas is dressed in a brilliant red coat transformed by sweeping gold scrollwork and elaborate green poinsettias outlined in shimmering silver and gold glitter. Czech crystals accent the floral design, while sparkling white trim, his long sculpted beard and the large gold-glittered ball held in his hands add layer upon layer of texture. Even the back of his coat is richly decorated, making this 7-inch Santa remarkable from every angle. Mouth blown, hand painted, glittered and sterling silver lined in Poland, each is individually finished rather than mass produced.
MATERIAL: Glass Paint Glitter Stones
INCLUDES: 1 Handmade, European Glass Ornament
Give Saint Nicholas room near the front of the tree where his tall silhouette and intricate coat can be appreciated. At 7 inches, he has enough scale to become a focal ornament among smaller pieces and is especially suited to collectors who enjoy detailed European glass Santas.
Look closely at the coat—the decoration continues far beyond a simple painted pattern. Green poinsettias are edged in sparkling silver and gold, accented with Czech crystals and surrounded by curling gold glitterwork. Against the glossy red glass, all those raised, sparkling details create incredible depth and texture.
Try Saint Nicholas among deep red, green and gold ornaments, or surround him with simpler glass balls so his elaborate coat becomes the star. Because the floral decoration continues around the back, he also works beautifully on an outer branch where the ornament can turn and reveal different details.
