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