Not only because of the carefully wrapped presents and the twinkling lights, the loving family, the holiday parties, the singing. We love Christmas because we re hungry for miracles. For Christmas this year, discover the history as well as the origins of the myths and the legends of Saint Nicholas a man who was hungry for miracles too. Nicholas made children feel seen, and he let them know they were loved. He paid attention to the people around him and asked how he could help. If they needed money, or a protector, or a prayer, Nicholas provided it for them as a servant of God. He showed them the miraculous love of the Father.
