Nicholas was born to wealthy Greek parents in the year 270 on the coast of what is now Turkey. He died on December 6, 343, in Myra, where he was bishop.

As bishop of Myra, Nicholas devoted himself to caring for the poor and defending children. At the Council of Nicea, he defended the divinity of Christ. To Roman officials who wanted to know who he was, he fearlessly declared: “I am Nicholas, a sinner, servant of God, and bishop of Myra.”

The man who would later become the basis for our modern-day “Santa Claus” was gentle with children, but tough when it came to defending truth and justice.
