The Netherlands

"Thank you very much for the beautiful postcard showing an icon of Russia's (pre-soviet) national Saint Nicholas surrounded by 28 other saints.
In the Netherlands Saint Nicholas' Eve (5 December) is the primary occasion for gift-giving, especially to children, when his reputed birthday is celebrated.
His name was orinally old Greek: Νικόλαος, meaning 'the Victor [Ο Νικων] for the People [του Λαούς]'."
