Is there a website (or book) that gives a kid-friendly introduction to the life of St. Nicholas from the Orthodox perspective? Everything that I have found is Catholic.

I would like for my kids to learn a little bit about him before 12/6.

Try conciliarpress.com. I'm sure there is something there.

Oops, never mind. I struck out at both Conciliar Press and St. Vladimir's Press.

Let me check with my priest. St. Nicholas is our parish patron.

I would like that, as well. I had heard of St. Nicholas, but know little about him. :)

Having now found my printed 2007 catalogue it seems they actually have quite a lot of stuff on St Nicholas for all ages of kids - if you wish to PM me ,I will give you more details - I never find that their Website is the easiest to work round - but their service is great - I got the Festal Menaion and the Lenten Triodion from them and they were here in the UK almost before I could blink

Funny, we were just discussing this on an Orthodox homeschool list. Here is one resource that I have seen recommended over and over again.

Its not Orthodox, but the historical stuff is very helpful. I used it last year when putting things together.
