| | | | A St. Nicholas Day Message from Fr. Dan
We celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas (270 – 343 A.D.) on December 6. Today's modern, commercial Santa Claus actually is based on this real person. Many legends deal with his protection of children, of the poor and of his concern for seafarers. As the bishop of Myra, in what is now southern Turkey, he dedicated his life to helping those in need and had a reputation for secret gift-giving.
St. Nicholas' example to Christians is to look beyond seeking material goods. Rather, seek to honor God by caring for others.
With your help, Franciscan Media will continue to help Christians grow closer to God--in that same spirit of St. Nicholas. We publish St. Anthony Messenger, books, and online digital resources of all kinds. All of these efforts are a partnership with you, our loyal benefactors.
