Arms showing Saint Nicholas of Myra. Often in heraldry he is not shown as a person, but three (golden) balls are being used.
Saint Nicholas also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century Christian saint and Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor (modern-day Demre, Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, a practice celebrated on his feast day―St Nicholas Day and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas, itself from a series of elisions and corruptions of the transliteration of "Saint Nikolaos".
