Saints and Slavery (Part II)
Saint Nicholas of Myra (AD 270-343)
“But the Lord who loves humankind, who never wishes his own creation to become hostage to sin, sent him a holy angel — I mean the godlike Nicholas — [… who] became a most ready resource for their defence, and he saved them, though they were already being led away to a death of profligacy” — Michael the Archimandrite, ‘Life of Saint Nicholas’
