The Real Saint Nicholas
This plaque depicts the story of St. Nicholas rescuing three young women from the sordid fate of prostitution. This solid bronze plaque – conceived and executed in Germany by a master goldsmith – is a worthy depiction of the real St. Nicholas, the real “Santa Claus.” This is an excellent gift for everyone named Nicholas (or any variant thereof) on their patron saint’s feast day (December 6th), on their birthday, or on Christmas morning (a superb “Christmas stocking stuffer”!).
Saint Nicholas of Myra (died c. 342). The original “Santa Claus.” As bishop of Myra, he participated in the first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.). This Council condemned the heresy of Arianism and defined the Nicene Creed which is still prayed every Sunday in Roman Catholic churches to this day.
According to one story (depicted on this plaque), when Saint Nicholas heard that a local man had fallen into such desperate poverty that he was intending to sell his daughters into prostitution, Nicholas went by night to the man’s house and cast three bags of gold in through the window thereby saving the man’s daughters from a life of degradation and exploitation. These three bags of gold, given generously in desperate times, are now symbolized by the three golden balls that indicate a pawn broker’s shop. (Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of pawnbrokers, among many other causes.) His feast day is December 6th.
