Meet Dutch St. Nicholas (our Santa). The feast is today. He's however horribly latinised (the beard is still eastern, though!).

My church made St Nicholas look like a Coptic bishop in a mock interview with a servant who pretended to be the saint in front of children.

He showed love for Arius strangely. But did apologize as we all err.

But, he was charitable to those in need. In that, I believe he was a great role model. We should all give to those in need.

I remember when I was a child, all the children put our shoes outside of the church. We went in and did some readings on him. Then sang the "St. Nicholas song".

When we came back they were full of candy.
My brother brought two pairs (LOL)

Yeah, I've always wanted to punch my JW neighbor square in the nose.

I'm itching to visit an INC temple if we are obligated to do this

INC = Iglesia Ni Cristo. The Filipino copycat of LDS

No. Today is slap-everyone-who-denies-the-divinity-of-the-Word-day. Why limit yourself to arians?

Happy feast day!

BTW, I prefer much more the true one st. Nicholas, who is much more interesting, extraordinary (obedient to God, disobedient to heretics - great exemplar for all people that love rebelling in a good cause) than this man wearing a dwarf costume

Do be careful with the Muslims. They slap back.

And of course the 'O Kto Kto Nikolaj' hymn learned by every Rusyn, Galician and Lemko child at an early age!

Nice recording, interesting to hear it in English

It's know also among Orthodox in Poland, probably because of our Lemkos

Today it was even sung in my parish

If you want something to keep you busy the other 364 days of the year...St. John Chrysostom tells us to smack blasphemers in the face.
