The irony of saying Santa Claus is fake as a kid just to convert to Orthodoxy as an adult and asking Saint Nicholas to intercede on my behalf. 😂
Haha that's actually pretty funny.
Easily the best Orthodox channel.
You're very kind!
@@Patristix Any time I have to explain something about Christianity/Orthodoxy, I try to point people towards your channel and Bible Explained. Please keep them coming!
Love the editing in this, keep up making stylish releases brother ☦❤
Fun fact: saint nicholas is considered the protector to the hellenic navy
Sounds right! The man knows how to get a ship home safely.
May St Nicholas pray for us all during this Christmas!
My church is named after him
He's a really wonderful saint!
What makes Arius a heretic?
We briefly touch on it at 4:41 in the following video: th-cam.com/video/EBgu-n7N7WU/w-d-xo.html
My Slava is St. Nikolas which we celebrate on the 19th Dec. There is no faith like the orthodox faith.
I always find myself tearing up when watching your videos. The sincerity, tenderness, intimacy, and affection of the Orthodox faith that you are able to convey always pierces right through. Thank you.
my daughter is now getting old enough to start asking what this Santa business is. We've taken to explaining that Saint Nicholas was so generous that, every year, people dress up and give gifts in honor of him, and that "Santa" is what we call someone who does that. Here's hoping that, as she gets older, we can help her differentiate between the Wonderworker and The Santa Clause without too much frustration.
That sounds like the best method I've heard of.
We are all Santa on the inside lol
I believe Santa in northern Europe means saint. Claus is short for Nicholas (Niclause)
In Serbia, I think we are very fortunate that more than half of us have him as our patron saint. Though, we ought to know him better, honestly. Especially us younger people.
Eastern Orthodoxy Is The One Truth.
This is my favorite of your videos so far. So many wholesome moments in it, and wonderful perspective on what the Christmas season looks like in the West.
We enjoyed making this one!
Amen! The number three seems to surround St Nicholas... 3 women, 3 bags of gold and 3 marriages. Seems fitting for the Saint who defended the orthodox faith and confession that there is one undivided God in three persons: Father, +Son, and Holy Spirit.
You can see the passion behind this one. Thank you for all your hard work. May God bless you all.
Thank you so much!
Wow I visited the cathedral in Cologne but I didn’t knew the relics of the 3 wise men where there!
If kids believe Santa Claus, they should know the real St Nicholas.
Thank you for this perspective! It's really strange how in the west we don't hear these stories. The idea of saints as family friends is such a warm picture :')
Interesting video thank you.
a wonderful point on commercialism being Christianised for one time in the year.
Catholics/Orthodox celebrates and honors Saint Nicholas and the nativity of our Saviour Jesus Christ. ✨
Very neat hearing that the Russians on the ISS took icons up there. Average Russian gotta love them
In Scandinavia we don't have Santa we have Jultomten, he is based on Oden and the mythical creatures name Tomtar
The Tomtar are interesting little fellows! There's a similar version in Slavic countries but they all get names for where they happen to live. "Domovoi" is the one that lives in the house (dom=house). Like the Tomte they also vary in whether they are good or mischievous.
As usual, I learned something new. 👏🏿
Thank you very much for explaining so well the miracles of Saint Nicolas. I went to venerate his relics this past summer and what a blessing in my life afterwards. Happy Feast of Saint Nicolas to everyone!
Today is the feast of St Nicholas, according to Julian calendar
I love your videos so much, they are useful overviews of saints.
A slap can be way more forceful, over a wider area, and cause more pain than a punch.
Unless you slapping them as hard as slap boxing usually slaps will generate much less force
Beautiful stories ,Saint Nicholas pray for us sinners and help .Amen 🙏💖💐
