Nicholas teaches us that faithful followers of Jesus defend those who are wrongly accused. Today we can see the face of Jesus not only in political prisoners around the world, but also in anyone who suffers from false accusation. After all, wasn't Jesus himself executed on false charges? Finally, St. Nicholas shows us how to find Jesus through prayer and religious zeal. Let's relish the spirit of joy and charity embodied in Santa's gift-giving, but let's not forget the real St. Nicholas, who, like all the saints, points to Jesus. That's the truest Christmas spirit. John Bookser Feister is an assistant editor of St. Anthony Messenger
and editor of AmericanCatholic.org. He
has master's degrees in humanities and theology from Xavier University.
