The meaning of the Christmas Spirit that Saint Nicholas immortalized
His name gave rise to the myth of Santa Claus and with this to the true essence of the Christmas spirit, a virtue that some confuse with the action of giving toys to children and rewarding them for their good behavior.
The Christmas spirit goes beyond material things.
This refers to unity and love for the family, immortalizing the importance of loved ones coming together on these dates to say goodbye to the expiring year and welcome the new one with hope and joy.
The true meaning of Christmas and the Christmas spirit that Saint Nicholas immortalized is based on:
- Mercy and
- charity to the needy.
In providing food and shelter to the homeless without expecting to receive anything in return, it is based on being more understanding and tolerant with those around us and on stopping believing ourselves as God to make judgments about our fellow men.
Hymn to Saint Nicholas
From this stormy sea
Oh Father Saint Nicholas,
Drive to the safe harbor
From the heavenly homeland.
Of the struggles of life
And deadly storms
Save us please
And unique virtues.
You always come to the aid
Of how many your help implore
Sick and navigators
Poor or rich they invoke you.
For your holy holiness
I have powerful intercession,
Make us chosen
To blissful eternity.
To the faithful who devotees
Your cult we propagate
Make us deserve the glory
Loving our brothers.
Amen.
