Saint Nicholas Saves Three Innocents from Death..I happened to see this very painting just yesterday, while reading about St. Nicholas of Myra!.Of course, I haven’t done anywhere near as thorough a job as Mabrndt does, but I thought I could enlighten the early readers until M. has a post up. (And thanks to you for diligently educating us all, Mabrndt! I am thankful for your efforts on this day of giving thanks.)
