In medieval England, a "boy bishop" who would act for a roughly three-week period was elected during a holiday commemorating this man. A story recounts how this man encountered a butcher and innkeeper who cut up and pickled three children in barrels, but this man resurrected them. This man, who may have punched the heretic Arius in the face, has a feast day that involves the arrival of Zwarte Piet  (ZVARR-tuh PEET) , who is controversially depicted in (*)  blackface. To prevent three girls from becoming prostitutes, this bishop of Myra supposedly gave their family three bags of gold. Clement Clark Moore popularized the story of this man through a poem, whose feast day on December 6 often involves giving presents to children. For 10 points, name this saint who was the basis for Santa Claus.
