Born as an answer to his mother’s prayers, Nicholas demonstrated saintliness at an early age and later joined the Augustinian Friars. He was devoted to the poor, sick and dying members of the community. The “Bread of Saint Nicholas” originates from the holy bread he would offer to miraculously heal the sick. In fact, Nicholas performed many miracles, including resurrections. He humbly told people, “Say nothing of this. Give thanks to God, not me.”
