6packofun Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) And a question! What is the most that we know to be *fact* about St. Nicholas beyond that he was Bishop of Myra, etc. Are any of the stories true, such as the one about St. Nicholas secretly providing dowries for three poor sisters so that they wouldn't have to be sold by their father? I'm just wondering how he made the leap from saint to Santa Claus over the centuries if he wasn't truly a very loving, generous man and if we know which stories demonstrating that generosity might be true. Thanks! Edited November 4, 2010 by 6packofun .,., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&Rs Mom Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 We really like Baker's Dozen. It's not history/fact, but a really sweet story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Not a book, but I love (and my kids loved when they were younger) this DVD Nicolas: the Boy who Became Santa http://www.adoremusbooks.com/nicholastheboywhobecamesanta-dvd.aspx?zmam=46742494&zmas=1&zmac=2&zmap=91302 It's a Catholic production, but there was nothing in it that ran contrary to our Protestant faith that I recall. I really loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
