St. Nicholas and
The First Christmas Stocking

Nicholas was a kindly man born in the
fourth century. Because he devoted his life
to helping others and doing good deeds, he
became a bishop at a young age. One year at
Christmastime, Nicholas was told of a poor
villager whose wife had died. The man was so
grief-stricken that he was unable to care for
his three daughters. When Nicholas heard of
their desperate situation, he rode past their
humble cottage and tossed three bags of
gold through their window. The gold scattered
and landed in the girls’ stockings that were
hung by the chimney to dry. ‘This is a miracle,”
cried the eldest daughter. “Now we will be able
to buy food and wood
and nurse our father back to health.”
Once this story was heard across the land,
the custom evolved of children hanging stockings
by the chimney, in hopes that St. Nicholas
would bring them happy Christmas surprises.
