Well, I’m back! Mary is taking off another week from blog writing (but don’t worry, she’ll be back next week with something spectacular!). She has asked me to expand on St. Nicholas and some ideas to celebrate his feast day on December 6th. What a glorious time of year to bring the Faith to life for our children!
There are many exaggerated legends associated with this great man, but we do know some indisputable facts about his life. St. Nicholas is one of the most popular saints, among Catholics and non-Catholics alike. He is the patron saint of children and is said to have been represented by Christian artists more frequently than any other saint, aside from Our Lady. In order to understand where this popularity comes from, we can look at this saint’s history.
