St. Nicholas is coming to town

Hallowed be Your name,

Your Kingdom come,

Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our traspasses

As we forgive those who traspass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For yours is the Kingdom, and the Power,

And the Glory forever. Amen.

(Making a cross): In the name of Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

(Children hear a sweet melody):

Children: It is St.Nicholas! St.Nicholas is coming to us!St.Nicholas: Ukrain has prayed! The words of prayer reached Heaven. The stars in the sky sparkled so brightly. It must be so, because you grow quite kind and sincere, and faithful, generous and clever to make your parents glad and happy. I know, that you can pray well, and you pray every day. But do you know what holiday will come soon?

Children:Of course, we know! It’s Christmas!!!

Roman:We shall go caroll-singing on that day!

St.Nicholas: Oh! Nice children, as I see. Do you know many carols?

Mary: Yes, two or three.

St.Nicholas: How lovely! Nice children! And now let’s see what things I have in my sack. Come up to me, Mary. Here is something special for you.

Mary: Oh! What a beautiful doll! It’s even nicer than my old one! Thank you St.Nicholas!

St.Nicholas: Now you, Roman. It’s your turn to get a present.

Roman:Wow! It’s just what I wanted! Thanks a lot St.Nicholas!

St.Nicholas: Thank you angels for your help today. We must hurry now. Lots of children in Ukrain are still waiting for mr and you.

Angels: Oh, yes St.Nicholas, you are right! Listen! Can you hear the song? All Ukrainian children are singing it for you, St.Nicholas.

St.Nicholas: Thank you, children, for your lovely song! I’m coming to you! Good-bye, Mary and Roman! Be kind and polite, listen your parents amd study well. Then I’ll come to you again next year!

Children:Good-bye, St.Nicholas! We promise to be good!
