Yes, There Really is a St. Nicholas !
Did you ever think about the costume that clothes Santa Claus? The colors represent the Bishop’s vestments of those days. Red and White.
Interesting.
When he wasn’t handing out gifts to children, St. Nicholas was punching heretics in the face.
Bring it on. Happy feast of St. Nicholas!
thanks!
