St. Nicholas Greets the Church Club at St. James

St. Nicholas himself made an early visit to New York, greeting Church Club members at our Christmas party at St. James Church.

The Rev. Canon James Rosenthal, who had been speaking about St. Nicholas in historical and cultural contexts, disappeared before the sainted bishop arrived, which caused a flurry of speculation about secret identities and holiday magic.

Club members were treated to a reception and Christmas carols from St. James' children's choir.
