Saint-Nicolas is known for rewarding good children, but did you know that he was also the patron saint of boatmen? He has a strong presence in Creil Sud Oise, and has long been celebrated in the south of the Oise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of good children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

6 December is Saint Nicholas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for rewarding children's good behaviour with gifts or treats<\/strong>He is celebrated like Santa Claus in many parts of the world, including in France, where he is also known as Father Christmas. Lorraine, of which he is the patron saint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Saint-Nicolas also has a role that is perhaps a little less well known, but which has a very strong link with our region: he's the patron saint of boatmen!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint-Nicolas, patron saint of boatmen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Inland waterway transport was a highly developed activity until the arrival of the railways.<\/strong>and closely linked to the world of quarrymen<\/strong>. The stone transport <\/strong>of our many careers was via the river Oise<\/strong>on boats that were called \"\u00a0Besognes\u00a0<\/strong>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These stones <\/strong>transported in this way were used to build<\/strong> many buildings in the area, but also in Paris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A boss with a strong presence in Creil Sud Oise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our churches are built using local stone, numerous references to Saint-Nicolas<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

One example is the hamlet of Barisseuse, not far from Saint-Vaast-l\u00e8s-Mello<\/strong>which features a chapel named Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Nicolas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 Saint-Leu-d'Esserent<\/strong>The large church commonly known as the \"Abbatiale\" is actually called the \"Abbey Church\".Saint-Nicolas church.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inside the church, there is a carved stone altarpiece depicting part of the legend of Saint Nicholas, with the famous story of the resurrection of the 3 children who were held captive by a butcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patron saint of boatmen: why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So why is Saint Nicolas the patron saint of boatmen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of the three rescued children<\/strong> in the salt cellar can be interpreted as an allegory of sailors saved from shipwreck<\/strong>on the ferry symbolising the boat, and the salt the sea<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All along France's waterways are chapels dedicated to Saint Nicolas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
