Feast day of St. Nicholas December 6 th By popular culture, St. Nicholas is perhaps the most closely linked saint to the Christmas season. As Archbishop of Myra, Nicholas was noted for his deeply religious life, his generosity and love of the poor, his battles against heresies, against persecutors of Christians and human injustice. He was a true shepherd of his people and a model of faith. His life of gift giving and defence of the faith connect with the spirit of Christmas within us. The proximity of St. Nicholas feast day to the feast of the Nativity is an accident of history. Saint days are on the church calendar for the day the saint fell asleep in the Lord; on December 6 th, we remember St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas gave of his wealth to help others throughout his lifetime. Because of his generous actions, St. Nicholas is a strong reminder of the call of Christ. The feast day of St. Nicholas is celebrated during the time of Pylypiwka when we are preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Lord. St. Nicholas shows us the ideal of love, charity, and generosity. He was ready to help anyone in any situation, regardless of the cost to himself. Let us celebrate St. Nicholas memory by imitating his goodness, generosity and selfless giving.
