The Life of Saint Nicholas

Pictures by Emile Probst
Text by Verena Smith

Nicholas was born many years ago in Asia Minor near the city of Myra. He was a very clever child, and when he was five years old he was already studying the Bible. His parents were good people and taught Nicholas to love God and [everyone]. There are hundreds and hundreds of stories about the wonderful things Nicholas did. All of them show how much Nicholas was loved by the people who knew him. This book tells just a few of the best-known of these stories.
