Agios Nikolaos (6 December)

Saint Nicholas was born in the 3rd century AD in Patara, Lycia, to pious and wealthy parents. At a young age he was left an orphan and heir to a large fortune. But Nicholas, inspired by philanthropic feelings, gave his fortune to alms.

He then devoted himself to the ascetic life, but because of his special virtue he was honored, without seeking it, initially with the office of priest and then with that of archbishop of Myron. From this position he lovingly led his flock and boldly confessed the truth. For this reason he was arrested by the local rulers and thrown into prison. He was freed and restored to the archbishopric throne when Constantine the Great ascended to the imperial throne.  He took part in the First Ecumenical Council, where he stood out for his wisdom and moral perfection.
