Symbolism and application of the item This is a nice pendant with the image of St. Nicholas on the front side ...and the ornament of blooming hearts on the backside. Saint Nicholas is one of the most beloved saints in the world, especially in Russia. 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. On the backside, you can see the stylized blooming hearts. The ornament of a heart with a stylized lily, as a sign of sublime spiritual love, emerged around the 6th century in Byzantium. This ornament is the symbol of the main Christian virtue given by Christ to humanity, the commandment of love. This icon pendant is the best gift for anybody, who is in a difficult situation.
