Taylor Marshall’s Nikolaos is an inspired story of the story of Santa Claus and the story of St. Nikolaos. He presents a human version of two larger than life characters and brings them to our level. Nikolaos struggles with his faith like many of us and we see Melitta the young protagonist dealing with the responsibilities of of two younger sisters after her mother has passed and her father has withdrawn into himself. She struggles to find ways to support the family and keep her faith. Her and Nikolaos strive together to find God’s peace in the trying times of the Roman occupation.
