Saint Nicholas Russian


As Christinaity spread through the Byzantine Empire and further north into Russia so did the stories of Saint Nicholas and everyone claimed him for their Patron Saint of Children.  Saint Nicholas became known as Nickolai Chudovortis the Wonder Worker.

I found this Santa in Alaska where there is a lot of Russian influence in the architecture.  --Ann--
