The Three Coins of St. Nicholas Christmas Ornament
St. Nicholas is perhaps best known for saving three poor maidens from being sold into slavery by dropping three bags of gold down the chimney of their house. The three coins in this ornament are symbolic of this act and of St. Nicholas, patron saint of children, sailors, travelers, pawn-brokers, students, orphans, and judges. He is known as a protector of all in trouble or need. Which is pretty much everybody you know, have ever met, or ever will meet. A token of your caring.
