Sing Shoes Sweets Sinterklaas


Sinterklaas folklore St Nicolas – At bedtime Dutch children place their shoes before the chimney or the door (called ‘je schoen zetten’) – with carrots or apples for the horse of St Nicolas – and sing a lot of songs for St Nicolas and Black Pete, hoping to find some sweets in their shoe the next morning. Filmed Nov. 22nd 2018.

Zwarte Piet

Zwarte Piet – Black Pete – brings presents at the Sinterklaas party for the children at the Van der Burg’s home (my parents) on December 5th 1966 or 1967 in The Hague, Holland. Picture I made at the age of 14-15 years with the Voigtländer Vito C 35mm film viewfinder camera – including the darkroom work. (Scan of negative).
