Saint Nicholas' Three Stockings

Origin
Saint Nicholas had a reputation for secretly leaving gifts and became the basis for the modern day interpretation of Santa Claus. The famous legend is that he heard the plight of a poor man who could not afford to pay the dowry to marry his three daughters. That night, Nicholas secretly threw three purses of gold into the house window to pay for the marriages. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers and pawnbrokers.
