Jolly Old St. Nicholas

It's true!  You usually only hear the St. Nicholas story about how he saved the three girls from slavery by putting money (secretly) into their stockings (which had been hung up to dry near the fireplace), but he also punched the lights out of Arius (the father of the devastating Arian heresy) at the Council of Nicaea.

Yes, the council where they came up with the Nicene Creed! 

Evidently, Arius went on and on trying to convince the Council that Jesus wasn't really God, and Nicholas finally had enough and decked him.

Mxyl: Does this mean I get to punch people who say Jesus isn't God?

NO!  Not everything every saint does is intended to be imitated.

You may, however, put all your money in my sock.
