St. Nicholas of Myra (in Turkey) was a bishop and a very holy man. He did not just preach the Gospel, he lived it. He spent some time in prison because he would not renounce his faith. Much of his life he spent ministering to the poor. Nicholas was proclaimed a saint by popular acclaim long before the official Catholic canonization process was instituted in the 12th century.
What are the differences between Saint Nick and Santa?
Saint Nick refers to Saint Nicholas, a historical figure known for his generosity and gift-giving, particularly to children. Santa is a modern interpretation of Saint Nicholas in the form of a jolly old man who delivers gifts on Christmas Eve.
