From the Bishop of Myra to Santa Claus: The Many Faces of St. Nicholas

A popular saint across Christian history, St. Nicholas of Myra was—and still is—represented in a traditional religious context. Yet the many images of St. Nicholas are far surpassed in number and variety by the more recent portrayals of Old St. Nick. With lots of images, old and new, Kristin Anderson talks about the transformation of St. Nicholas over many centuries, from early Christian saint to modern holiday icon. Part of the Elder Enrichment series at Catholic Eldercare’s Main Street Lodge, 909 Main Street NE. Monday, Dec. 6, 1:30-3 pm.
