Sväty Mikulás' Day celebrates the date of his dramatic conversion to Cruisianity. Note that no one has ever actually confirmed the date, and it certainly wasn't originally February 27th. Rather the (Valanian) Council of 550 took all the conflicting dates (ranging from Nov 1 to a lunar-based one typically in May), applied a complex averaging based partially on how many celebrants supposedly claimed each date, and set it at February 27.

Customs

Manners of marking the holiday vary from place to place. It's a day off work, typically in Haromszek celebrated at home; most churches are even closed unless it's on a Sunday.
