Orange, Pink, and Green: Saint Nicholas

Saint Nicholas made a quick stop

bringing sweet treats

and gifts of faith

The coin idea is from Shower of Roses - she amazes me with what she does!

Of the Virtues of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary ~ St. Alphonsus Liguori ~

The most holy Virgin had more faith than all men and angels. She saw her Son in the crib of Bethlehem, and believed Him the Creator of the world. She saw Him fly from Herod, and yet believed Him the King of kings. She saw Him born, and believed Him eternal. She saw Him poor and in need of food, and believed Him the Lord of the universe. She saw Him lying on straw, and believed Him omnipotent. She observed that He did not speak, and she believed Him infinite wisdom. She heard Him weep, and believed Him the joy of Paradise. In fine, she saw Him in death, despised and crucified, and, although faith wavered in others, Mary remained firm in the belief that He was God.
