This beautiful hardcover book tells the story of Saint Nicholas accompanied by rich illustrations based on an iconographic style.

The figure of Saint Nicholas stands apart from nearly every other Christian saint: his fame spread across empires and generations to make him one of the most recognizable Christian saints in history. However the true story of St Nicholas’ life is a far cry from the mythical “St Nich”! This book reacquaints the reader with the authentic Saint Nicholas, a man who found greatness not simply in spreading "good cheer," but in being a true icon of Jesus Christ in word and deed. 

The author, Jim Forest is international secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship and associate editor of its journal and website, In Communion.

The illustrator, Vladislav Andrejev is an accomplished iconographer, teacher of iconography, and illustrator of award-winning books.
