and the Church of St. Mikołaj in Myra, Turkey

At the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325, when Arian doctrine was rejected he got into a heated debate with Arius himself about whether there was a time when the Word did not exist. Nicholas strongly disagreed.

The debate ended suddenly when Nicholas punched out Arius then and there on the floor of the council
