  Saint Nicholas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicholas was born in Asia Minor during the 4th century at Patara in the province of Lycia, at a time when the region was Hellenistic in its culture and outlook.
Nicholas' early activities as a priest are said to have occurred during the reign of co-ruling Roman Emperors Diocletian (reigned 284 - 305) and Maximian (reigned 286 - 305) from which comes the estimation of his age.
Nicholas is also known for coming to the defence of the falsely accused, often preventing them from being executed, and for his prayers on behalf of sailors and other travellers.
