Saint Nicholas

Hundreds of years ago, Nicholas lived in a seaside town named Myra, which is in the country we now call Turkey. Ever since he was a small child, Nicholas loved God more than anything. He studied hard, prayed often, and followed Jesus by helping the poor.

The people of Myra loved Nicholas so much that when their old bishop died, they immediately elected Nicholas to replace him. He served them well for a long time.
​
Nicholas was loved for one reason. He loved. He loved God and God’s people so much that he would do anything for them.
Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of bakers and pawnbrokers. 

His feast day is December 6.
