    Key Facts & Information
    The Life of Saint Nicholas
    St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, thieves, and pawnbrokers.
    He was of Greek descent and was born during the third century in the village of Patara. He lived most of his life in the nearby town of Myra (both of which were part Lycia, present-day Turkey).
    The name “Nicholas” means “people’s victory” in Greek.
    He was often referred to as “boy bishop”, becoming a bishop at the age of only 30 years.
    He was the Roman Catholic Bishop of Myra during a time when Christians were persecuted by the Romans.
    He was jailed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian for seven years until he was freed when Emperor Constantine, the first Christian Emperor, issued the Edict of Milan in 313.
    St. Nicholas attended the first Council of Nicaea in 325.
    According to legend, he helped three girls who couldn’t get married and were about to be sold by their fathers to slavery due to poverty by throwing purses of gold through their window for three consecutive nights.
    Legend also says that the saint brought back to life three children who were chopped by a butcher to cure and sell as ham.
    There are records of him intervening in the execution of three innocent men who were condemned to be executed by a corrupt magistrate because of a bribe.
    St. Nicholas’ remains were buried in Bari where a shrine was built for him. However, his bones were stolen by Venetian sailors. His remains are now in the church of St. Nicholas on Lido, Venice, Italy.
    He died at age 73 on the 3rd of December, 343. Research on the remains of St. Nicholas in 2005 shows that he was five feet tall and that he had a broken nose.
    A pure liquid called the Manna of St. Nicholas has been known to flow from his bones since his death 17 centuries ago. The Manna is collected by a Dominican priest every 9th of May to bless Christians.

      Roman Catholic Bishop? Did they have terminology such as Catholic or were they just called Christians until after the schism? If St Nicholas was around during the schism I assure you he would have been Orthodox

    And there's always my favourite event when he attended the Council of Nicaea.
    When Arius rose to give his reasons for claiming that Jesus isn't God (the heresy of Arianism that he founded and that necessitated the Council), Saint Nicholas got up, went right to Arius and slapped him in the mouth. 😂😂
    Eventually, after lots of discussion and debate, the orthodox position that Jesus is truly God was accepted by almost all the Bishops present, obviously except Arius and a small handful of his supporters.
    Lesson: Rise of the Guardians was right. Santa can throw hands when he has to.
