Today is the Feast of St. Nicholas who was a bishop in the fourth century, but is much loved as he is associated with our giving of gifts at Christmas. He is also the patron of Russia and Greece and we should really ask him to bring about peace.
In some of the places where I have lived, it you left your shoes outside your door at night, St. Nicholas would come and leave something good in your shoes. Perhaps this is why he is confused with Santa.
I wonder if Westwood wants to leave at least one shoe out on the eve of the feast. I could be St. Nick this year.
Let us spend the day praying for peace!
