The leaders of the Protestant Reformation made several significant attempts to flush away the memory and legacy left behind by the bishop saint, but Nicholas ultimately prevailed. Today, he is one of the most recognizable saints in the world. Moreover, the umbrella of his patronage is more prodigious than ever, a meandering list that includes children, orphans, scholars, sailors, merchants, grooms, haberdashers, judges, longshoremen, archers, brewers, pawnbrokers, thieves, bankers, laborers, travelers, paupers, marriageable maidens, students, captives, and victims of judicial mistakes. For the full list, one can consult the Saint Nicholas Center, an online database devoted to the saint.
