Nicholas the Wonderworker Orthodox Icon 13×16 in stock
The life of St. Nicholas is shrouded in modesty, despite the vast amount of evidence of his miracles. He was born into a pious family in 260 A.D. and was a long-awaited, begged child. From childhood he showed kindness and a desire to help others. Even owning an inheritance from his parents did not make him greedy; on the contrary, Nicholas gave away everything he owned to the poor and tried to remain anonymous because of his generosity.
As a young man, St. Nicholas devoted himself to spiritual service and eventually ascended to the episcopal throne in the city of Myra. St. Nicholas was known as a passionate supporter of Christianity, and he actively fought against paganism and heresies. In times of persecution of Christians, he even risked his life defending the faithful and was even imprisoned for his faith.
It is important to note that St. Nicholas performed many miracles during his lifetime, and his name became synonymous with charity and miraculous help. The worship of St. Nicholas developed over several centuries, and his memory is honored as a great God-pleaser, saint and wonderworker.
St. Nicholas is considered the patron saint of warriors, travelers, sailors, merchants, and the protector of children and orphans. He is prayed to for help in various life situations, hoping for healing, protection, love and well-being in the family. They also address him with requests for good luck in work and prosperity. St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is nicknamed “the quick helper and prayer maker” and is famous for his ability to fulfill the prayers of believers. Believers turn to him with various requests, because St. Nicholas personifies mercy and miraculous help.
