December is a month full of expectation for the Nativity of Christ. The Saints celebrated in this month are highly venerated. Why did we include the Salutations to Saint Nicholas in the second part of this volume?

One of the most remarkable features of Saint Nicholaos is that even as a baby, he refused to break the fast and did not nurse on Wednesdays and Fridays. When we read Saint Nicholas' this to our children, we can share this characteristic with them and inspire them to emulate his brilliant example.

In the third part of this volume, you will see that our perennial calendar is not just a collection of dates but a journey through time.
