Saint Nicholas Day Craft

He is an Advent saint because his December 6th feast day always falls in early Advent (Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas between November 27 and December 3). However, Nicholas is a good Advent saint for more important reasons than the date of his special day. Whatever he did, and it is said that he did many kinds of amazing things, may not be as important as the way he did it. Nicholas became so popular because he was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. His life clearly reflected the way each one of us is called to show God's love to others, especially those in need.Celebrating St. Nicholas on his day in Advent brings a bit of fun and festivity into homes, churches, and schools. Saint Nicholas helps us remember Christmas is a feast of love, hope, kindness and generosity.
Yes, Nicholas is a good Advent saint.

Here's a sweet craft to introduce children to the man behind the legend of Santa Claus. A WONDERFUL easy to read and understand story is available at the St. Nicholas Center.
