(151206) -- LJUBLJANA, December 6, 2015 (Xinhua) -- Children receive traditional Krampus-shaped bread during the annual St. Nicholas procession in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Dec. 5, 2015. The first of three good men (St.Nicholas, Santa Claus and Father Frost), who arrive in December, visited children and their families on the eve of St. Nicholas day. In the annual St. Nicholas procession in the old city center of Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, performers dressed as St. Nicholas, his angels and devils and parkelj (Slovenian version of Krampus) greeted a big crowd of people. A choir of girls dressed as angels sang in Preseren Sqare, while other angels and Krampus distributed candy, traditional Krampus-shaped bread and oranges. In Alpine folklore St. Nicholas comes on the eve of St. Nicholas day to reward children who were good during the year. (Xinhua/Luka Dakskobler)
