The history of St Nicholas, bishop of Myra - certainly one of the most universally beloved saints.
From his infancy, St Nicholas practiced penance by fasting on Wednesday and Friday. He also had made a trip to the holy land as a young man. As a bishop, St Nicholas suffered for the faith in the persecution of Diocletian before Christianity was legalized by Constantine. Most importantly, St Nicholas defended the true faith in the council of Nicaea. We also consider various miracles, including the continuous miraculous manna or oil which seeps from St Nicholas' bones even today.
