"[...] Needless to say, St Nicholas's possible Klingon origin helps to explain the zealous violence he expressed toward Arius at the Council of Nicaea. Before he threw the punch heard around the Church, the Bishop of Myra was heard to exclaim, 'It is a good day to die!' Historians still debate the precise meaning of the exclamation." -- Fr. Aidan (Alvin) Kimel, 2016-11-26

[Happy St. Nicholas Day to folks who celebrate it, folks who like knowing Santa's back story (jolly old Sinterklaas was ethnically Greek, from what is now part of Turkey, and a bishop, before he retired to the north pole in the middle of the 4th Century and started making toys), and folks who like Klingons!]
