Sinterklaas is a kind bishop; he wears red robes and a tall, pointed mitre on his head. He travels with his servant called Zwarte Piet (Black Peter or Sooty Peter). Sinterklaas travels by ship from Spain to the Netherlands each year. With him he brings his white horse and a huge sack full of gifts for the children. People flock to greet Sinterklaas as he arrives and there is a parade through the streets.
