Although this church isn't named directly for our 3rd c St. Nicholas of Myra, it is dedicated in honor of another saint by the name of Nicholas, the 13th c St. Nicholas of Tolentine.

Since Nicholas of Tolentine was named by his parents in honor of Nicholas of Myra, it is fitting, considering that hurricane Sandy came ashore in Atlantic City earlier this week, to post about this beautiful and historical church.

Being from Florida, and one who has a first-hand understanding of hurricanes and how destructive they can be, my heart goes out to those so affected by this storm and for beloved buildings such as the St Nicholas of Tolentine Church in the city we all know so well - if only from the Game of Monopoly .

Many, many prayers for the people of the North East United States who found themselves in the path of Hurricane Sandy.

Yes, indeed many thoughts and prayers to all those in the storm's path... devastating isn't enough of a word to describe what it's effects have been to some people.
I have only ever seen the English version of Monopoly, did not know this one existed!
My thoughts are with these people too. I have friends in Delaware who thankfully are all OK and no damage, the eye of the storm went right over the top of them.
Keep well Diane
Dear Ann, the photographs we've been seeing are just devastating and the death toll rising, it been just terrible. In the U.K. every news bulletin is filled with news from our friends in the U.S.
I haven't seen the American version of Monopoly, how lovely that the church you mention is there on the board.
Hope your week-end is peaceful Ann!
Hugs Jane
Amazing shots to share, they got hit bad.
Praying for all.
Thank you for this wonderful information!
