I have no idea why only Russians and Serbians are mentioned about having faith in St Nicholas. This is very similar to when everyone in Australia says it's Greek Easter when it's Orthodox Easter. I would like to clarify to all those people who don't know worldwide there is over 220 million Orthodox people and I can tell you right now they don't all consist of Russians, Serbians and Greeks. Considering this is Wikipedia it wouldn't be very hard to Google that and find out how many other nationalities also follow the same religion as the above-mentioned. 211.27.126.106 (talk) 10:19, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the dutch story telling Sint Nicolaas has severall helping people. Those are perhaps black persons and that is an inmense discusion.
did the original bisshop off Myra had priest following him? There is a big change that the influence off the More people occupying Spain are off origin off the people that assist St. Nicolaas by which this story part would Not be part off history.
whithout discusing it, the question is, did Saint Nicolas have people that assisted him and from where did those people come. The chance for a mixed up story is pretty big, up to 100%, but it has to be asked for an correct answer.
The article says "Furthermore, all written records were kept on papyrus or parchment, which were less durable than modern paper". This startled me as I thought that both papyrus and parchment was MORE durable than modern paper. There are the illuminated manuscripts for example, and I know that papyrus has survived. But I'm not an expert on this, so didn't want to make a change. There's a reference but it's a book, so I can't check what it says. Does anyone else know? I know this is a very minor matter and not relevant to St Nicolas particularly, but it niggles at me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joedkins (talk • contribs) 12:11, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The relevant page can be seen here. The cited source doesn't explicitly say that paper is more durable, but does seem to imply it. Nevertheless, we shouldn't simply copy statements uncritically. As the statement in its general form does appear to be false, and it's in any event not particularly relevant to the subject matter, I'm going to remove it.

Back in 2017, there were many news reports from WP:RS that the tomb of St. Nicholas has been discovered, which unfortunately confirms his death. Should the discovery of the tomb be added to the article? Félix An (talk) 02:51, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
