St. Nicholas was an early bishop in the town of Myra in the Asia Minor, what is now part of modern Turkey. He is noted for his generosity to the poor and for several miracles, especially bringing back to life three young boys who had been murdered and stuffed into a barrel of salt brine. He is frequently pictured wearing red liturgical vestments. Red vestments are worn on the feast day of martyrs and represents the blood the martyr shed. Red is also worn on days devoted to the Holy Spirit, which would be the case for St. Nicholas. As a bishop he would confer the Holy Spirit on those receiving the sacrament of Confirmation.
