Product Overview
A sweet-faced Santa, loaded with a burgeoning bag of gifts, bears a depiction of a winter evening in the quaint village of Sergiev Posad. The Center of the Russian Orthodox Church is located in this town, where the tradition of woodcarving is hundreds of years old... It is no coincidence that woodworkers in Sergiev Posad have been carving the Grandfather Frost, the Russian Santa, for many years - the tradition descends from the Russian Orthodox celebrations of Saint Nicholas, the miracle-worker and secret gift-giver. Standing tall at 14 cm ( 5.5 in.) this Santa is a delightful addition to a warm Christmas setting.
