Radio Interview: Advent and St. Nicholas

Advent is a special season for Catholics as we prepare to celebrate the Incarnation of our Lord. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty is joined by two guests to talk about these days of anticipation. In the first segment, we talk with Oblate Sister of St. Francis de Sales Audrey Frances Moran, who teaches fourth grade religion at Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Towson, about how she explains Advent practices to her students. In the second segment, Mike McGrew talks about his new illustrated children’s book about St. Nicholas, “The Boy Who Would Be Santa.” He talks about the things he learned about St. Nicholas, also known as Santa Claus, as he played the saint at Christmas markets and in his research.
