He lived in the second half ...of the 3rd century and was a bishop of the Lycian city of Mira, where he was famous for many miracles and works of mercy. Already during his lifetime, the people began to pray to him as to the saint, asking for help in hopeless situations. Sailors prayed to pacify the storm and save the drowning, those, who were innocently convicted - to stand up before the rulers, the sick prayed for healing, and the needy ones - for any help. During his life, he performed countless miracles and does not stop performing them until today. The legend says that he left presents for the poor ones (and that was the beginning of Santa Claus, who brings presents every year.) But, despite all his kindness, great gentleness of spirit, and purity of heart, Saint Nicholas was a zealous and ardent warrior of the Church of Christ. He even destroyed the pagan temples in the city. Saint Nicholas is the patron of children, coopers, sailors, travelers, fishermen, merchants, broadcasters, the falsely accused, repentant thieves, brewers, pharmacists, archers, and pawnbrokers. Enjoying high respect, Saint Nicholas pacified the feuding, defended the innocent convicts and saved those sentenced to death from the death penalty. On the other side of the icon, we can see how Saint Nicholas appears to save the innocent people sentenced to death. There is the greatest painting by I. Repin on this topic. Here you also can read the text of the prayer, dedicated to this event. Saint Nicholas, the saint of God, lived to a ripe old age. The Lord awarded his body with corruption and special miraculous power. The relics of the saint have the gift of healing bodily and spiritual ailments. He is honored and praised by the entire Christian world for his ardent faith, virtues, and numerous miracles of healing, performed by him both during his earthly life and after his death.
