Articles associated with Saint Nicholas (270-343), an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in Asia Minor (‹See Tfd›Greek: Μύρα; modern-day Demre, Turkey) during the time of the Roman Empire. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, prostitutes, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas.
