We call on the intercession of Saint Nicholas with these quality prayer cards. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, is best known for anonymously throwing bags of gold, under the cover of darkness, through the windows of a home wherein the three daughters living there were about to be sold into slavery for their lack of a wedding dowry. This generous act saved the young ladies from a wretched future and began the tradition of Santa Claus and gift-giving. Nicholas was also a staunch defender of the Catholic faith and suffered under the Diocletian persecution.
