Download or read book Saint Nicholas written by Martin Ebon and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1975 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a long, long journey from the pious, thin Bishop Nicholas of Myra to the roly-poly dispenser of gifts on Christmas Eve. Why the tremendous appeal of a bishop in one of the remote corners of the Roman Empire? How did he become the jolly denizen of the North Pole? Here, lavishly illustrated with pictures that allow us to see as well as to read about Nicholas's transformation, is the story of an enigmatic figure. As the years flow by, the author points out, we come to know both less and more of this most popular saint. We lose and forget the details of his life, what he did and did not do, what he looked like when he walked through the streets of Myra. But paradoxically, with the accumulation of time it seems the spirit of the man drops its legendary, miraculous trappings and shines forth the more beautifully. We partake yearly of what must have been Nicholas's childlike joy, generosity, and concern for others: the soul of the saint himself. As "Saint Nicholas" persuasively argues, we have won the better part. -- From publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas: His Legend and His Role in the Christmas Celebration and Other Popular Customs A Few years ago, while trying to trace the history of certain Christmas customs, I was unavoidably brought into contact with St. Nicholas. A closer acquaintance with that amiable personality was the result, and acquaintance gradually deepened into veneration and affection. In the same year in which began my closer acquaintance with St. Nicholas, I was so fortunate as to be brought face to face with some of the quaint pictures in which Italian painters, with so much charm, have represented the various episodes in the life of the saint, . I was led to believe that others would enjoy the pictures, not all of them readily accessible, and that a wider knowledge of St. Nicholas would greatly enlarge the circle of his friends. The present book was the result. My aim has been, not to offer an exhaustive study of all the difficult questions that are connected with the name of St. Nicholas, but to bring together, from somewhat scattered sources, the elements in his life story.

Download or read book Saint Nicholas written by and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas was a Christian who lived in the town of Myra in around the fourth century, and he was much loved for his charity and generosity. On one occasion, he wanted to give money to three daughters who were facing destitution because their father had no money for a dowry in order that they might marry. Nicholas thought of a clever way to give his gift in secret, showering gold coins into their house at night through the chimney. Some of the coins landed in the stockings that had been hung up to dry there. His good deed brought a happily-ever-after ending, and inspired a Christmas tradition. This book is retold for children from the famous thirteenth century book by Jacopo de Voragine, The Golden Legend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. A FEW years ago, while trying to trace the history of certain Christmas customs, I was unavoidably brought into contact with St. Nicholas. A closer acquaintance with that amiable personality was the result, and acquaintance gradually deepened into veneration and affection. In the same year in which began my closer acquaintance with St. Nicholas, I was so fortunate as to be brought face to face with some of the quaint pictures in which Italian painters, with so much charm, have represented the various episodes in the life of the saint. I was led to believe that others would enjoy the pictures, not all of them readily accessible, and that a wider knowledge of St. Nicholas would greatly enlarge the circle of his friends. The present book was the result. My aim has been, not to offer an exhaustive study of all the difficult questions that are connected with the name of St. Nicholas, but to bring together, from somewhat scattered sources, the elements in his life story. The kindly acts recorded of him have lived in popular memory and have flowered into some of the most generally cherished of popular customs. In St. Nicholas the reader will come in contact with a personality of unique amiability, whose influence has permeated popular customs for many centuries and has contributed much of sweetness to human life. My original contribution to the subject has been slight. In the notes I have attempted to indicate my indebtedness to other writers, although the amount of this debt I have not been able adequately to show. To the artists who have represented with feeling and with charm the scenes in the life of St. Nicholas, this book is most indebted, and for them I wish to bespeak a major part of the reader's attention.
