This piece is participating on the art show: "Devotions" at Museo Sacro de Caracas, Plaza Bolivar from November 11th till December 14th. The curator is the renowned Artist Orlando Campos. It describes a passage in the life of St. Nicholas of Bari, whom I give a contemporary look as the simple but generous man he was. He made a donation of a bag of gold to each one of three girls that did not have the means to get married in Myra (Now Turky) at the II Century a.C. This man used to give little toys to children, putting them on their socks that they used to hang near the fireplace. He was ordered Bishop very young, and he started to make miracles too. He called on Virgen Mary for this miracles. He died of 72 years old and continued makig miracles ever since.
