Today is the feast of St. Nicholas of Bari, scourge of heretics and the patron saint of sailors, merchants, brewers, students and children. Bringer of unexpected gifts, liberator of the oppressed — and the original Santa Claus. Sancte Nicola, ora pro nobis peccatoribus! https://t.co/YHduhJwygy

Today is #StNicholasDay when in many countries children will have received small gifts and goodies. It is the tradition to leave their shoes out overnight so that St. Nicholas can fill them with special fruits and sweets. St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra. https://t.co/nD5Tlr5KMN

One legend about the original St. Nicholas is that he interrupted an execution in the 4th century. He passed through the crowd, took the sword from the executioner's hands and threw it to the ground… then ordered that the condemned men be freed. 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/5zSSG7nlq2

One of the most famous stories of the generosity of St. Nicholas says that he threw bags of gold through an open window in the house of a poor man to serve as dowry for the man’s daughters, who otherwise would have been forced into prostitution. https://t.co/TEe0RTCcOx https://t.co/TVNc909d0Z
