Episode: Saint Nicholas Tradition

Some Christians worry that people have forgotten who "jolly old Saint Nicholas" really was. "St. Nicholas was a real person—not a fairy, not someone who’s flying through the sky with reindeer, but an actual person who lived and worked and died and had a full life," says Canon Jim Rosenthal, founder of the UK/USA Saint Nicholas Society.
