Did you know? Saint Nicholas, also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker, is a historic 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor (modern-day Demre, Turkey). He is revered among Eastern Orthodox Christians and other Christians for his many miracles and secret gift-giving, which inspired the modern figure of Santa Claus. O Father and hierarch, Nicolaos, intercede with Christ, that our souls be saved. | St. Nicholas GOC of Lexington MA
