An Ecumenical Saint

Nicholas of Myra, also known as Nicholas of Bari, was a Bishop born in Patara, Lycia (modern-day Turkey), around 270 A.D. He is a Saint that brings together most of the Christian Churches and Confessions, and is venerated both in the East and the West. His memorial is 6 December, the day of his death, but he is also remembered by the Church on 9 May, in memory of when his remains were translated to Bari.
