Description
St. Nicholas of Myra (or Bari). The prototype for Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, fulfills many roles: he is patron saint of children, sailors, pawn-brokers, travelers, and many others. In the depiction shown here, Nicholas, in full episcopal vestments (a symbol of his role as bishop) blesses three children in a tub. According to the story, an inn-keeper murdered these children and placed them in a pickling tub so that he could serve them to his guests. Nicholas, upon discovering this atrocity, restored the children to life.
