[QUOTE="JSRG, post: 77360009, member: 418772"] I want to mention that him slapping Arius seems to be a historical fiction. Nicholas of Myra actually being at Nicaea to begin with is a bit uncertain--some lists of attendees have him, but some don't. But if he was, the first mention we have of him slapping someone at Nicaea seems to show up a full thousand years after the council happened. And even this story doesn't have him slap [I]Arius[/I], but an Arian (follower of Arius), and it was only in later retellings of this story that it was "upgraded" to him slapping Arius. This link goes into it: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.roger-pearse.com/weblog/2015/02/28/did-st-nicholas-of-myra-santa-claus-punch-arius-at-the-council-of-nicaea/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
