He was a priest in Patara,Turkey.

Have seen in Demre,Myra statues of him.

Apparently he saved little girls from prostitution,

by throwing bags of money through their windows.

He wouldn,t have enough to save all the Natasha's here

Well done Sheila, but it must have been the other Mal, the naughty Mal, who suggested you post that link. I would never do a think like that. Is it a puzzle, find the pp perhaps?
