Get into the Christmas spirit by learning about the life and faith of St. Nicholas.

Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) is adding in a hefty dose of history to the holiday bustle this year with their Who Is St. Nicholas? exhibit. On display are artifacts that tell the story of the legendary St. Nicholas, the man who inspired the legend of Santa Claus. This exhibit also takes a deep-dive into his Christian faith and explores Christmas customs from all over the world.
