St. Nicholas, the Bishop >of Myra, bom in the fifth century in Patara, Turkey, was a living legend during his lifetime because of his love of people and his charities. Nicknamed fondly Noel Baba, Im was known as the aaint of virgins, for helping poor and unmarried girls to secure dowries for marriage. He was also the favorite of seamen. Even pirates respected him liecaumi of his uncanny sixth tense about weather. His bones, believed to have curative powers, were stolen from his tomb here and carried to Bari, Italy, 1087, where they still rest. Why is St. Nicholas associated with Christmas? Festivities of St. Nicholas Day, which falls on Dec. 6, used to extend until Christmas time, and were so popular that finally the two were incorporated into one — making St. Nicholas the symbol of Christmas. The St. Nicholas Festival found its way into the United States with Dutch emigrants and St. Nicholas’ name gradually became Santa Claus.
