This original post was from ten years ago an contained an arithmetic error. the proper age today (15 March 2023) should be 1,753.

According to many Christian traditions…

March 15th in the year of 270 AD, 1,748 years ago, a child was born in Patara, Lycia (today it is modern day Turkey, but at the time it was Greek) to a very wealthy couple…Nonna and Theophanes. The child was named Nicholas after his uncle. He became St. Nicholas.

Saint Nicholas, also called Nikolaos of Myra or Nicholas of Bari, was Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, and is a historic Christian saint. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker.

Note: Some experts put the year of his birth year at 280 AD.

The official photo. Three evenings. No working on it until the sun goes down. Ann stayed up an extra hour + to finish it tonight. Lots of similar colors with questionable orientation. At the end, I just stayed out of her way!
