Saint Nicholas (270 - 6 December 346) is the canonical
and most popular name for Nicholas of Myra, a saint and Greek Bishop of Myra
(Demre, in Lycia, part of modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles
attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker.
He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the
shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa
Claus, whose English name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas. His reputation
evolved among the faithful, as is common for early Christian saints. In 1087,
his relics were furtively translated to Bari, in southeastern Italy; for
this reason, he is also known as, Nicholas of Bari.
Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus
(27 February c. 272[2] – 22 May 337), commonly known in English
as Constantine I, Constantine the Great, or (among Eastern Orthodox, Oriental
Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Christians) Saint Constantine, was Roman
emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324 until his death
in 337.
Saint Helena (Latin: Flavia Iulia Helena Augusta) also
known as Saint Helen, Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople (ca. 246/50
– 18 August 330) was the consort of Emperor Constantius, and the mother
of Emperor Constantine I. She is traditionally credited with finding the
relics of the True Cross.
