This liquid is only collected on the feast day of Nicholas, which is December 6th. The liquid is called “manna”, and is sold on bottles as miraculous water.

"O Heer, wees genadig voor ons, we verlangen naar U.
Wees onze sterkte elke ochtend, ons heil in de tijd van nood. "
Jesaja 33:2

Heer sta mij elke dag nabij
en laat mij een waardig geluk vinden.
Leer mij in de kleinste zaken het belangrijke zien
en de waardevolle bijdrage tot het leven.
Laat mij van elke dag genieten.

"O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you.
Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress."

Lord stand by me every day
and let me find a decent happiness.
Teach me to see
the important in the smallest matters
and the valuable contributions to life.
Let me enjoy every day.
