Published in Presov in 1978
Bobak is part of the publishing effort during the thaw in relations between church and state in Czechoslovakia. The book is in Translitterated Church Slavonic and is very poorly made. The publication is essentially printed via copier with comb binding from the 70’s resulting in very low quality images that have significantly faded over time. In addition, I am working from a copy of this “copy” from the seminary collection and not even an original photo copy.

When I was a child my mother who was of Slovak heritage (both parents were slovaks and settled in Johnstown NY)she continued the tradition, I would put out my tall hunting boots and she would put it small gifts, candy and usually a small onion to keep me honest.I still put out my boots and my wife does the St.Mikulas tradition.I felt lucky as a kid because I would get stuff from St Mikulas and Santa.
