December 6^th - St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra

This week we will celebrate the feast of a very good man.  Can you guess who he is?  His special month is December.  He had a long white beard.  He loved children.  He left presents during the night in secret in the homes of children and adults who were very poor.  He helped those who needed help.  He loved Jesus Christ.  When he was serving Jesus Christ in Church as a Priest, Bishop or Archbishop, he may have worn vestments of bright red.   Who was this good man?  His name is Saint Nicholas.  Some people in other countries called him Santa Claus, which means Saint Nicholas.
