Associated Press: - MOSCOW - Over a million people have visited relics of Saint Nicholas, standing in a line sometimes a few miles long extending from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, since May 23rd, 2017.
The huge turnout underlines the importance of Orthodox Christianity and the defining role it plays for the Russian people a quarter-century after the collapse of the Godless-Soviet Communist Government.
What are all these modern people in Moscow standing in line to see? A tiny fragment of the Saint's bone, on loan from Italy.

You do realize they are not standing in line to see a fragment of bone, but to touch their own deep Christian heritage, to bond with the Spirit of Christ, that is bonded with the Spirit of Saint Nicholas. The Russians hold the reality of "Ole Saint Nick" who in the West has been reduced to the image of a "tippler" who invades houses via chimneys, even making a cartoon out of the fact that "Ole Saint Nick - Santa Claus" only wants to share what he has, and never wants anything for himself.
The miracles attributed to the LIVING Saint Nicholas over the centuries, number, in the tens of thousands. These are actual events, interventions, in the lives of real people. The Protestant Reformation, in a psychological operation of magnificent proportions, took this REALITY and turned it into a FANTASY, a Fairy Tale, over which a parent is always conflicted as to WHEN in a child's development "reality" must be faced and the Fairy Tale rejected. This Protestant Fairy Tale-subversion of the LIVING Saint Nicholas is SATANIC, as so much of the so-called Enlightenment is.
Why would the lying Northern European Protestant Psyops Press* attack this particular saint? After all the hallmark of Protestantism is the rejection of the LIVING presence of the Church's Saints. In Protestantism, they are never mentioned except academically quoting sometimes what they have written. It is why for Protestants the most voluminous "writers" are known the best, Blessed Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. There is nothing extant or even mentioned in Church history about anything written by Saint Nicholas, his "fame" rests on something else, that being the living witness of miraculous interventions in the lives of millions of people.
So why would the Protestant-Illuminati Press attack Saint Nicholas so that rather than just rejecting his Living Reality, as they did all the other saints, they made a sophisticated cartoon of him? The answer is so very simple but out of the reach of most Protestants. Some Protestants are Arian heretics, most Protestants and Evangelicals are at least semi-Arian heretics. And Saint Nicholas was the fellow who punched the heretic Arias in the face at the First Council of Nicea, knocking him out cold. Saint Nicholas was stripped of his rank as Bishop, in front of the Emperor and hundreds of Bishops of the Church. Hard to imagine a more ignoble ending to a beautiful career. He was publicly anathematized, stripped of his vestments, and put in a cell, guarded by the Roman soldiers of Emperor Constantine. His future looked bleak, after all, Constantine was there and had witnessed his good friend Arias assaulted.
During the night Christ Himself appeared in Saint Nicholas' cell carrying new vestments and dressed him again as a Bishop of HIS Holy (non-Arian) Church. The Protestant Reformers were no fools, most were highly educated, except for Luther, they knew full-well what an affront Saint Nicholas was to their chosen heresy, semi-Arianism. Satan knew that it wasn't enough to reject Nicholas, but that some apparatus must be invented to BLIND people to him. After all, they could not have Protestant laymen becoming curious about the Bishop that was so outlandish that he cold-cocked a fellow named Arias at the First Council of Nicea (the first Ecumenical Council of the Church) in front of the Emperor of the Roman Empire and three hundred plus other Bishops of the Church. Surely they would ask, "Who was Arias and why did Saint Nicholas hit him?" Then in the process of discovering the answer, they would discover that their Protestant/Evangelical Christianity really wasn't the Ancient Christianity of the Jesus, the Christ, the Apostles, and the Early Church Fathers. So was invented the shiny-red object of Santa Claus.
From Smithstonian Magazine:
Caroline Wilkinson, a facial anthropologist at the University of Manchester (England), used these data and modern software simulations to create a modern reconstruction of the long-dead man. Wilkinson put a human face on Santa's original namesake—one with a badly broken nose, possibly suffered during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
NOTE:
"The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra, the British figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas (himself also based on Saint Nicholas). Some maintain Santa Claus also absorbed elements of the Germanic god Wodan, who was associated with the pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.
"Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, joyous, white-bearded man—sometimes with spectacles—wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots and who carries a bag full of gifts for children. This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children's books, films, and advertising."
This is the popular deception that "Santa Claus" is actually a product of commerce and not the Northern European Protestant Illuminati Press. This same Illuminati Press through fairy tales and tracts demonized the Czars of Russia and created the inhuman mythology of the Spanish Inquisition, the specter of thousands tortured and executed, an event that never happened.

From Smithstonian Magazine:
The remains of the Greek bishop, who lived in the third and fourth centuries, are housed in Bari, Italy. When the crypt at the Basilica San Nicola was repaired in the 1950s, the saint's skull and bones were documented with x-ray photos and thousands of detailed measurements.
