Exploring the legacy of St. Nicholas, Santa Claus and the Christmas ​Challenge Coin Tradition

Long ago in a city called Myra, there was a kind bishop named St. Nicholas. He helped ​people and shared with them, making everyone happy. St. Nicholas was so special that his ​goodness is still remembered today.

He gave gifts to people, especially during Christmas. This made everyone smile and started ​a nice tradition. People say that each new Santa has a piece of St. Nicholas's kind heart.


Now, Santa wants kids to be kind and nice all year, not just at Christmas. So, he gives ​special coins to kids who are nice. But here's the coolest part: he asks kids to share these ​coins with others who are kind, too! For all to challenge each other to be kind, nice and ​sharing. It's like a chain of kindness.

Santa's coins don't just represent a ​tradition; they connect us to the past. They ​celebrate St. Nicholas, the first Santa, who ​still lives on in every Santa today.


When Santa gives these coins, he's not just giving ​something shiny. He's sharing St. Nicholas's ​caring spirit and a special secret: when you share, ​kindness grows. So, be kind, stay nice, and share ​with others, just like St. Nicholas did.

The Story of Saint Nicholas of Myra

Christmas Holly

Centuries ago, there was a kind man named St. Nicholas who lived in a faraway place called Myra. He had a ​big heart and loved to help people. Born in the year 270 AD, St. Nicholas wanted to make the world a better ​place.


One day, he heard about a family with three daughters. They were very poor and didn't have enough money ​for their wedding dowries. Without dowries, the daughters couldn't get married and have happy lives.


St. Nicholas knew he had to help. So, one night, he quietly dropped bags of gold coins into the family's house. ​The family was surprised and grateful. The daughters could now get married and be happy.


St. Nicholas's kindness and giving spread throughout Myra. People began to tell his wonderful stories, and he ​became known as a saint. He showed us the joy of helping others, especially during the holiday season.


Santa Claus is still inspired by the memory of St. Nicholas. He reminds us to be kind, share, and make the ​world a better place. The spirit of St. Nicholas lives in the heart of each Santa who has come after him, ​carrying on the tradition of spreading love and joy throughout the world, not just at Christmas, but all year ​long.
