Description This Santa Matryoshka Doll Craft Kit is the perfect ornament for Yule or Christmas. You can paint your very own matryoshka doll in your own unique style! Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named Saint Nicholas. He was born sometime around 280 A.D. in modern-day Turkey. He was admired for his piety and kindness and was the subject of many legends. One said he gave away all of his wealth and traveled the country helping the poor and sick. Over the course of many years his popularity spread. He became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day and anniversary of his death is celebrated December 6. This day is now considered to be a very lucky time for those who are getting married, or making a large purchase. This marvellous toy should be considered a cult object for its specific construction and design. It is the perfect vessel for concealing spells and secrets. Carved from Birch wood which is a sacred tree said to drive off evil spirits, evil eye, and offer protection. The Matryoshka’s many layers would be perfect for any sort of passage or transformation spell work. Use in rituals as both a functional & symbolic petition container. You may place incantations, spells, or ritual work inside the dolls. The spell workings inside are now hidden in plain sight. Made in Russia
