St. Nicholas
(Santa Claus): Patron of Children, Christmas, and Wedding
Nicholas was a fourth-century bishop in Myra, a city in
what is now Turkey. In this image, Nicholas holds three bags of gold in
one hand and a cup in the other. Both symbols refer to stories in which
a gift from Nicholas changes young people’s lives from hardship to joy.
In one story, Nicholas throws three bags of gold through a window into a
house where a poor man lives with his three daughters, all of whom are
too poor to have a dowry and therefore be ready for marriage. The gift
from Nicholas allows the three girls to be wed and live happily with
their husbands. It is for this reason that Nicholas is the patron of
newlyweds and weddings. The cup evokes a story in which the saint helps
a child. Because of other stories about him, Nicholas is also a patron
of fishermen and sailors.

Saint
Nicholas: The Story of the Real Santa Claus
Nicholas was a
bishop who lived in the town of Myra (in present day Turkey) in the fourth
century AD. He was much loved for his charity and generosity. On one
occasion, he wanted to give money to three young women who were facing
destitution, because their father had no money to give them dowries in order
that they might marry. Nicholas thought of a clever way to give his gift in
secret, showering gold coins into their house at night through the chimney.
Some of the coins landed in the stockings that had been hung up to dry
there. His good deed brought a happily-ever-after ending, and started a
beloved Christmas custom.
Here’s the story of the real
Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, whose unfailing kindness led to many of the
gift-giving traditions of Christmas. Highly detailed and decorative
illustrations make it one that children (ages 6-8) will want to read year
after year as a Christmas favorite. Ages 6–8

Saint Nicholas: The
Real Story of the Christmas Legend
Many parents and teachers struggle with how to approach the
Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus dilemma. Many deal with this by telling
children that the legends surrounding Santa Claus are based on a real,
historical figure named Nicholas, a Christian bishop known for his
generosity.
This picture book presents a shortened,
somewhat fictionalized version of the life of Saint Nicholas, explaining
that Nicholas was a servant of God and that, through him, God’s love was
reflected to others. The story touches on the ministry of Nicholas and his
generous gift of a dowry to three young girls as a response to God's love
in Jesus. And it brings application to our own lives as we, too, respond
with grateful hearts to God’s great gift of love to us.
Combining museum-quality artwork
and family friendly language, this book clearly articulates how God
showered His love upon us through Christ and helps children see that our
own gift-giving is a grateful response to the sacrificial gift of God’s
Son. 32 pages. (Item #88116) $14.99

Wonderworker: The True
Story of How St. Nicholas Became Santa Claus
by Vincent A. Yzermans
Discover the magic inherent in the true story of a man who
overcame relative obscurity in a small Mediterranean city and became a
cultural icon the world over. In Wonderworker: The True Story of How St.
Nicholas Became Santa Claus, Msgr. Vincent Yzermans writes a book for his
grandnephew that explains the evolution of St. Nicholas into Santa Claus.
Nicholas quickly made a name for himself with his eloquence, intelligence
and generosity. Recognized as a miracle worker during his lifetime, he
became known for helping children in need, mothers in labor, and sailors
as they traversed the Mediterranean. The modern incarnation of Santa
Claus, however, became popularized in the mid-19th century through a poem
by Clement Clark Moore called "A Visit from St. Nicholas"-better
known as "The Night Before Christmas"-in the Frank Church
editorial, "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus," and in the
artwork of Thomas Nast and Haddon Sundblom.
This book will appeal to children from the age of nine to ninety-nine.
Anyone who celebrates Christmas-regardless of whether or not they still
believe in the existence of a Santa Claus who brings gifts to children
around the world-will welcome this informative and eloquent explanation of
the true story behind how a humble bishop from Asia became "jolly old
St. Nick." 64 pages. Paperback (Item
