According to an apocryphal story about Saint Nicholas, why did he drop bag of coins down the chimney of a poor family with three daughters?
P.S. This is a painting of St Nicholas punching a heretic at the Council of Nicea in 325. For some reason that part didn’t make it into the Santa Claus mythology.
With no money to provide a dowry, the three daughters would have no way of securing a good marriage and would most likely have to become prostitutes.
So if Santa popped down your chimney last night, that’s why. He’s trying to save you from life as a hooker.
