  Nicholas called of Tolentino on account of his long sojourn at this place received the baptismal name of the holy bishop of Myra because he was born after a pilgrimage made by his parents to the tomb of the great miracle worker at Bari. Following the example of his holy patron, although only seven years old, he fasted several times a week. Listening one day to a sermon by a preacher of the order of hermits of Saint Augustine on contempt of the world, he determined to give up all he possessed and to enter that order. He is represented holding a lily because he was always a model of innocence and purity. He died in the year of our Lord 1308.
