(The Good Samaritan)
The story of Bishop Nicholas (Myra) finds center stage this day. It is little celebrated. But historically it is the big day during the Christmas season. This is the day of gift giving, imitating the example of Nicholas, who secretly provided a dowry gift for some young women to avoid them being sold because they could not secure a husband without a dowry. Generosity is an act of being in solidarity with our neighbor. Christ breaks down the barriers between people (ethnicity, race, class, etc.). The early church is example of humanity at its very best (Acts 2, 4)
