St Nicholas: Man, Myth and Legend

Little is factually known about the real Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra during the reign of Diocletian. Lisa goes into depth to separate fact from fiction and explore exactly how popular culture managed to morph his story from genuine Christian Saint to jolly, fat, gift-giving elf.

Did St. Nicholas actually punch the heresiarch Arius during the Council of Nicea? We have a pretty good idea, yes or no, as Lisa explains.
