Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra
Long before I was that round, gift-giving fellow you like to call Santa Claus, I was the bishop of Myra (now Demre in Turkey). I was born sixteen centuries ago in the year 280. After my death, I became a saint. I was the patron saint of maidens, barren wives, sailors, infants, students, thieves, and Russia!
