#PrincessMelitaBonaparte forgives all of the #SinsOfSantaClaus, & during her visit w/the #BishopOfMyra. Her #TenthDayOfChristmas (#Crimma) wish is to enact her #ProtectorOfCanada status & “Be like that that that boy in the #WhiteHouse & pay no taxes!” She might get grabbed for that. (at Westfield San Francisco Centre)

Original #FeastDay of #BishopOfMyra, also known as #SaintNicolas #Sinterklaas, & #SantaClaus. He inherited money. To help the poor, he quietly deposited coins down chimneys. Of course the trespassing made it #Subversive. As time went on, the #FeastDay was moved from 6 December to 25 December & the original intention of the devotion got all muddled w/#DepartmentStores & #ShoppingMalls & #MadeInChina. #Safeway has this display, which came as close to a more realistic depiction of the #LiturgicalApparel he might have worn when celebrating Mass, than the all red garments we see in popular illustration. Doubt he could have dropped many coins down chimneys in this rig. He probably had a darker complexion, certainly the chimney work would have done a number to his beard, if he had one. Happy #SaintNicolasFeastDay! #OrthodoxSaint & #LatinRiteSaint. (at Safeway)

Happy Feast of Saint Nicholas of Myra! Most famous for his secret gift giving and generosity to the poor "Santa Clause" was a Catholic bishop back in the day. He is also known to have little tolerance for heretics (people who teach incorrect theological ideas), especially when he slapped the heretic Arius at the Council of Nicea. Enjoy memes in his honor! #stnick #bishopofmyra #santa #santaclause #catholic #bishop #herecy #heretics #slap #feastday #suchabadass #proudtobecatholic
