Saint Nicholas, the model for the modern Santa Claus, was not only a real person (and a Saint)…
…but he was also known for many wonderful deeds that we all associate with the Holiday Season.
He was born during the third century (around 270 AD) in the village of Patara. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, but is now commonly identified with, and often as, Santa Claus. As the Patron Saint of sailors, Nicholas is claimed to have been a sailor or fisherman, himself. St. Nicholas was a working, albeit wealthy, man who complemented his day job with caring for his congregation as well as a full-time Bishop. Nicholas is also known for coming to the defense of the falsely accused, often preventing them from being executed. The popular veneration of Nicholas as a saint seems to have started relatively early. St Nicholas is unique in that most of his bones have been preserved in one spot: his grave crypt in Bari. It is said that in Myra, the bones of Saint Nicholas each year sweated out a clear watery liquid, called Manna.As the bones were stolen and brought to Bari, they continued to do so, much to the joy of the new owners. So even up to today, a flask of Manna is extracted from the tomb of Saint Nicholas every year on December 6t . Today, Saint Nicholas is still celebrated as a great gift-giver in several Western European countries. Saint Nicholas Day is a festival for children in much of Europe related to surviving legends of the saint On the previous night, children put one empty shoe (or sock) outside…
…and, on the following morning of December 6th, the children awake to find small presents. For these children, the relationship between St. Nick and Santa Claus is not clearly defined……although St. Nick is usually explained to be a helper of Santa.
