St. Nick, the Patron Saint of Children

Anonymous author and illustrator was the first to adapt european legends of a fourth century bishop named saint nicholas. Born in a small roman town around the year two 80 a d, saint nick was a chronic giver who distributed his large inheritance to the poor and sick as he travelled on foot through the region. He once paid a dowry for three young girls so that they could find husbands, in order to keep them from a forced sex work. Another tale says that he also entered an inn to stay for the night, and then felt a kind of psychic tingle. Not only did saint nick magically know about the crime, but he actually resurrected the pickled boys,.
