Brussels security delays St Nicholas
Schoolchildren in Brussels will have to wait a few days more before catching sight of Saint Nicholas, the traditional bearer of Christmas gifts in much of continental Europe.
Heightened security has delayed his arrival in the Belgian capital from Monday to Friday, Visit Brussels says.
He had been due to land by steamboat at Peniches Quay on Monday morning.
Saint Nicholas, similar to Santa Claus, will distribute sweets and hot chocolate in a decorated marquee.
The busy but re-scheduled saint will be welcomed in style by a crowd of impatient children along with Rudi Vervoort, Premier of the Brussels region, Visit Brussels reports.
All schools in the Brussels area had been invited to take part, but the event was cancelled last week as the terror threat level was still at four - the highest - following the Paris attacks on 13 November.
The threat level, which curtailed a range of activities in the Belgian capital including school outings, has since been downgraded to three.

Église St Nicolas Bourse Brussels
Apparentemente sembra una chiesa senza grandi particolà,
ma la venerazione delle sante reliquie dei Martiri di Gorcum (Gorinkem) da parte della popolazione, la rendono luogo speciale. Anche Cesare Fracassini li onorò con pregevole tela custodita nei Musei Vaticani. Sono presenti tela la dernière Cène di Guillaume Herreyns, la Délivrance de St Pierre (Jean Van Orley) la ‘Vierge à l’enfant’ di un discepolo di Rubens e altre opere.

Saint Michel Cathedral - Brussels (Belgium)
The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula is a Roman Catholic church in Brussels , Belgium. The church was given a status in 1962 and has since been the co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels, together with St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen.
The chapel dedicated to St. Michael was probably built on the Treurenberg hill as early as the 9th century. In the 11th century it was replaced by a Romanesque church. In 1047, Lambert II, Count of Leuven founded a chapter in this church and organized the transportation of the relics of the martyr St. Gudula, housed before then in Saint Gaugericus Church on Saint-Géry Island. The patron saints of the church, St. Michael and St. Gudula, are also the patron saints of the city of Brussels.

Sint-Niklaas - Sint-Nicolaaskerk
City: In the Belgian province of East Flanders, between Ghent and Antwerp, lies the city of Sint-Niklaas. The city is considered to be the capital of the Waasland (Belgian region). The population is around 72,000 people. The history of the city began in 1217. The bishop of Tournai founded a church on this spot dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra, popularly known as 'Santa Claus'. For this reason the city came to be known as Sint Niklaas (St. Nicholas).
Due to the rise of the textile industry in the 18th century, the city came to be, second only to Ghent, one of the main, biggest industrial cities in East Flanders. In 1804 Sint-Niklaas received town rights from Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, after he had paid a visit there in 1803. The population then was around 11,000 people.
Striking today is the large market square with its many historic buildings. A document from 1248 states that Margaret II of Flanders added six acres of land west of the church onto St. Nicholas, on condition that no buildings were ever to be erected on this area of land. To this day the land has remained just as she requested it. Therefore, Sint-Niklaas possesses the largest market in Belgium, comprising 2.3 hectares. Obviously, besides the local market, the area provides a wonderful opportunity for numerous other events.
In this large market, we find many historic buildings. Some of them are the beautiful 19th century town hall, a neo-Gothic building, and the belfry tower. Behind them is the characteristic church of Our Lady. Hidden among the other buildings on the square stands the old St. Nicholas Church.
Building: St. Nicholas Church
Even though the St. Nicholas Church is somewhat hidden, it is certainly not a small church. This five-aisled church has been a listed monument since 1971. The interior of the church is baroque and neo-gothic. The church has seven altars, confessionals and a large organ. The church has a rich treasure of art of religious objects. ( Source:

I really love Ghent! It is known to be Belgium's Gem. Truly, it's very charming and lively. Although, we could not visit all of the famous monuments due to the on going festival during our visit there, the loud street music and scattered booths cannot hide the beauty of this city. I will go back in this city in the future and enjoy the real Ghent experience without the festival.

Christmas around the world Belgium
As in The Netherlands, children in Belgium believe that 'Sinterklaas/St. Niklaas' (Flemish) or 'Saint Nicholas' (Walloon) brings them presents on December 6th, St. Nicholas' Day.
Children put their shoes in front of the fireplace, together some for Sinterklaas like a drawing or biscuits; they might also leave a carrot for Sinterklass's horse and something for Zwarte Piet (Black Peter, Sinterklass's assistant). Then in the night, Sinterklaas arrives on the roof on his horse with Zwarte Piet. Zwarte Piet climbs down the chimney and leaves the presents in and around the shoes. Sinterklaas has a book in which he keeps all the names of the children and tells if they've been bad or good. Children are told that if they've been bad, Zwarte Piet will put you in his sack and take you back to Spain! Traditional foods that are left for Sinterklaas include tangerines, gingerbread, chocolate and 'mokjes' (cookies made in the shapes of letters. There are lots of songs that children sing about Sinterklaas. Different regions of Belgium have different customs and traditions about St. Nicholas.
The visit of Sinkerlass is a separate occasion than Christmas. Christmas is a more religious festival.
In Belgium there are three official languages, Dutch (a Belgium version of Dutch is known as Flemish, this is mainly spoken in the northern area of Belgium called Flanders), French (mainly spoken in the southern Walloon Region) and German (spoken by about 1% of Belgiums in the east of the country).
In Belgium Dutch/Flemish Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Vrolijk Kerstfeest', French it's 'Joyeux Noël', in German it's 'Frohe Weihnachten' and in the Walloon language (spoken by somepoel in the Walloon Region) it's 'djoyeus Noyé'. Happy/Merry Christmas in lots more languages.
On Christmas Eve ('Kerstavond' in Flemish and 'le réveillion de Noël' in Walloon), a special meal is eaten by most families. It starts with a drink (apéritif) and 'nibbles', followed by a starter course such as sea-food, and then stuffed turkey. The dessert is 'Kerststronk' (Flemish) or 'la bûche de Noël' (Walloon) a chocolate Christmas Log made of sponge roll layered with cream. The outside is covered with chocolate butter cream and made to resemble a bark-covered log.
Some people celebrate Advent and have Advent Wreaths/Crowns made from fir or leylandii greenery. The wreaths have four candles and a candle is lit each week counting down to Christmas. These are very popular in Elementary/Primary Schools where an Advent song is sung when the candles are lit. Lots of children also have paper Advent Calendars with chocolate behind the doors for each day!
In the weeks before Christmas, people also like to go to Christmas Markets. You might spot Santa Claus at the market! People go to buy Christmas presents, decorations and food. You can also drink jenever (gin) or Glühwein (hot wine) and eat some Smoutebollen/oliebollen (deep fried sweet dumplings) are also very popular. Going ice skating with friends is also something very common.
At Christmas parties at schools, it's common to buy a small gift which can be for anyone. A game is played to give out the presents. A very popular one is putting on some music and passing the parcel around everyone sitting in a circle. When the music stops, the one who holds the parcel, gets to keep the present. That's why the present should be something that anyone would like!
Most people will have a Christmas Tree (real or fake!) decorated with lights, baubles, garlands and a star on the top.
Next to the tree, many people will have a nativity scene. Some people even have a life-size one in their gardens! In most villages, there are big 'real' scenes next to the church with real animals (donkey, sheep, ox) and non-stop choir music playing. Some people also decorate the outside of their house with lights, or reindeer, or a Santa climbing up the roof (that's very popular).
On Christmas Eve, people normally celebrate with their close family and keep it small and cosy. The main meal is eaten on Christmas Eve. You might starchristmas in belgium,world,
