I can't say enough good things about this wonderful site, devoted to Nicholas, patron saint of sailors, archers, merchants, students and children. He is the model for our modern day Santa Claus, who's English name comes from the German, Sankt Niklaus.
There's a wealth of information on the site about Nicholas, including listings of churches worldwide that commemorate his feast day (usually December 6th), activities for children and, as I just discovered today, a wonderful screensaver. It includes a countdown to Nicholas's feast day and postcards from around the world, depicting the good saint.

Nicholas; a man of compassion, justice and faith.
