St. Nicholas: Discovering the Truth About Santa Claus

Akathist Hymn to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker 

Icon of Saint Nicholas of Myra

You were truly
a priestly worker in Myra,
for zealously living
the Gospel of Christ,
you dedicated your life
to your people;
you saved the innocent
from death.
Therefore you have
been sanctified
as one who has entered
the mystery of God's grace.
