Let’s discover the history of St. Nicholas, also known as “Nikolaos of Myra”. He was born in 260 a.C. in Patara, Asia Minor, the actual Turkey. His parents died when he was young. Saint Nicholas had a giving and charitable heart and many circumstances proved it.
St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children, sailors, fisherman, merchants, the falsely accused, Russia and Greece.
