📖 This Week's Story

St. Nicholas was a bishop who lived in a town called Myra. He loved to help people, especially children and the poor. One famous story tells how he secretly left gold coins in the shoes of three poor girls so they could have a happy life. He was so kind that people all over the world remember him. In Greece, we celebrate his feast day on December 6. He reminds us that the greatest gift we can give is kindness.
