Having become Archbishop of Myra, the wants of his flock were the first object of his Pastoral care. He took part in The Council of Nicea, which condemned Arianism.

Putting to profit the talents of which the Gospel speaks, he practiced both Spiritual and Temporal Works of Mercy, as when he discreetly threw Alms in at a window to save the honour of three young girls, an act still commemorated, nowadays, in Santa Claus, when the children thank Saint Nicholas for presents found on the hearth.

He died in 324 A.D. His Relics are preserved at Bari, Italy.

Let us help our neighbour in his Spiritual and Temporal needs.

Saint Nicholas, named The Great, was born in Asia Minor. God glorified him by an endless number of Miracles, and The Church, remembering the power he exercised over flames, makes us Pray that we may, through his intercession, be preserved from The Flames Of Hell.
