    HSC 2025-12-26 History of Saint Nicholas & Christmas Holiday Traditions, Part 1 - William Federer
    Dec 26 2025
    In this interview with William Federer, we explore the origins of Santa Claus—Saint Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas. We learn about Nicholas, the 3rd‑century bishop of Myra in Asia Minor (present‑day Turkey), and how, over time, stories of his holy and generous life were embellished into legend. We also discover how Christmas traditions were shaped by author Washington Irving, minister Clement Moore, Civil War illustrator Thomas Nast, and Coca‑Cola artist Haddon Sundblom.

    The ministry of suffering. Joni Eareckson Tada writes about how suffering works for the betterment of our souls. During Arts-and-Crafts, we built a simple greenhouse. We then turn to the difficult topic of teacher-hurt: Are you forcing your child into a hostile environment by sending them to traditional school? Next, Lemuel Vega shares the story of an incarcerated man who found Christ while in prison. After 30 years, he was released—and the very next day, he was in church. Lemuel brings in goodies and Bibles, and he is especially interested in receiving used, marked ones. Listen to learn how you can support his ministry with gifts of used Bibles.
