What reading level is St. Nicholas: His Legend And His Role in the Christmas Celebration And Other Popular Customs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nicholas, appears and calls the guilty ones to task. They deny gmlt, but are convicted when the saint causes the boys, sound of body and limb, to arise from the casks. This story, of repellent detail, is "not known among the Greeks, who are so devoted to St. Nicholas."^ It is also not included in the Gk)lden Legend nor in the Roman Breviary. It seems to have' been one of the elements added to the legend after the development of St. Nicholas worship in the West. Its earliest record is said to be... that in the French life of St. Nicholas by Wace. With the incident in the story, Wace 48 St Nicholas connects the great honor paid to St. Nicholas by schoolboys. "Because/* says Wace, "he did such honor to schoolboys, they celebrate this day [Dec. 6] by reading and singing and reciting the miracles of St. Nicholas." Different attempts have been made to explain the origin of this, at first, repellent story. One critic finds the explanation of the story in the con- ventional methods of medieval art.
