2. What are Sanikulas Cookies? Why these cookies are different from other cookies?
Sanikulas cookies are cookies that have the image of St. Nicholas molded on
it. It is an arrowroot cookie that is believed to help heal someone sick by praying to
Mary and eating the cookie. According to legend St. Nicholas fell ill, he dreamed of
Virgin Mary telling him to eat a small piece of bread dipped in water. He followed
what he saw in his dream and fortunately St. Nicholas got better and since then he
started healing the sick with the Sanikulas Cookie.
7. How would young generation learn to appreciate the kind of artworks mentioned
in this lesson?
Younger generations might have a hard time appreciating these kinds of
artworks in this lesson since most of it are traditional. But I think by often seeing it
being used or introducing it now more on the market, the younger generations will
learn on how to appreciate these kinds of artworks.
