\nLegend has it that St. Nicholas was traveling through a
\nsmall village and heard of 3 impoverished girls whose father could not afford dowries
\nfor them.  St Nicholas entered their
\ncottage by sliding down the chimney and found freshly laundered stockings
\ndrying by the fire.  He filled their
\nstockings with gold coins.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSt Nicholas was born in Greece (now the southern coast of
\nTurkey) in the 3rd<\/sup> century. 
\nHe is the protector of those in need, fishermen and children.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nHopefully your stockings, if not filled with gold, will not
\nbe filled with lumps of coal.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
