English: Arrival of Sinterklaas from Spain in Groningen, The Netherlands (2015). In front of Sinterklaas is Head Pete (hoofdpiet), carrying The Book of Sinterklaas (Het Boek van Sinterklaas). In it is written down whether each child has been good or naughty in the past year. On the far right an Assistant Pete (hulppiet) carrying the Crosier (staf) of Sinterklaas. On the left in red one of the many Petes who run around, handing out candy to the children along the road. Behind Sinterklaas are Spanish Nobles, who accompanied Sinterklaas on his voyage from Spain. Not on the picture, because they already had past, horse drawn carts loaded with presents for the children. The presents are (of course) brought from Spain. Sinterklaas is on his way from the boat to the City Hall, where he will be officially welcomed by the City Mayor.
