Legend Os The Three Maidens In the City of Myra there lived a nobleman who had three daughters. Over the years this nobleman had become p<x>r — so poor in fact that he was being forced to sell his daughters. His shame and grief were driving him mad. When Saint Nicholas heard of this, he decided to do something about it. One night when the maidens were asleep, and their father sat alone, watching and weeping, Saint Nuh olas took a handful of gold, tied u up in a handkerchief, and went to the house of the poor man. While he stood outside trying to figure how to give the gold to the man without revealing his identify, the moon came out from behind a cloud, showing him an open window. Saint Nicholas threw in the gold which fell at the feet of the father. With the gold, the grateful nobleman married off his eldest daughter. A second time Saint Nicholas provided a similar sum. And the third time, the nobleman discovered Saint Nicholas, and while he was kissing the hands and feet of the good Saint. Nicholas made him promise not to reveal his identity.
