Commentary: From the church bulletin:
Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, & thus became the model for Santa Claus. In 325, he was one of many bishops to answer the request of Constantine & appear at the First Council of Nicaea. There, Nicholas was a staunch anti-Arian & defender of the orthodox Christian position, & one of the bishops who signed the Nicene Creed.
