The Feast of Saint Nicholas


Ho Ho Ho ???

It's the feast day of Saint Nicholas today: the patron saint of theives, pawnbrokers, sailors, children, New York and a bunch of other stuff. The transformation of Sinter Klaus (the Dutch name for him) into the modern Santa Claus is a post for another time. Meanwhile enjoy the one of the best known and grisly miracle stories about ole'saintnick.
