"Nicholas in the Snow" by Bo Elder

ABOUT THE STORY

His Name Was Nicholas is based on the real-life story of a man named Nicholas who lived on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. His faith in Christ made such a difference in his life, and the lives of those he touched, that he was eventually dubbed “Saint Nicholas,” the forerunner of our modern-day Santa Claus.

Many people, however, have never heard his real-life story, so this show will serve as a heartwarming introduction to this man who loved Jesus with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength. 

Beyond the historical accuracy of the main elements in this show, we’ve also infused it with tenderhearted moments of love and laughter with brand new characters who help bring his story to life. A list of “What We Know” about Nicholas is included at the end of the script.

The tagline for the show says, “Nicholas had just one life to live, but if he lived it right, one life was all he would need.” My hope is that this story will demonstrate, in a real and tangible way, the power of one person to touch the world for good.

May you be inspired to do the same and be blessed as you do!
