Few people today know that Saint Nicholas is primarily the patron saint of travelers, the poor, townspeople, sailors, marriageable girls and also wolves. He protects them and also protects us from them. In the 16th century, the image of Saint Nicholas with a wolf was nothing strange. Bad myths about wolves began to emerge in the 19th century. Saint Nicholas has always been the most popular and most beloved saint. Perhaps because it is really difficult to "find fault" this saint. He did not have a bad past. His patronage covers many areas, but his image has become very commercialized. Why not return to the old ones and combine them with a modern image. Christmas card, wallpaper, of your own authorship.
