Nicholas the Wonderworker Orthodox Icon 27×31 in stock
The life of St. Nicholas is much more modest than the volumes of books with testimonies of his miracles. He was a long-awaited, begged child, born into a pious family, presumably in 260 A.D. From childhood, the boy was characterized by kindness and a desire to serve others. All the money inherited from his parents, he gave to the poor (while trying to hide his name). As a young man he became a clergyman, and later ascended to the episcopal throne in Myra.
St. Nicholas was remembered by contemporaries as a fighter against paganism and a defender of Christianity. Being a zealous Christian, he destroyed idol shrines and denounced heretics, and in times of persecution he was not afraid to stand up for the faithful and was imprisoned.
Even in his lifetime the Saint performed many miracles. St. Nicholas the Wonderworker lived to a profound old age. The veneration of St. Nicholas in the territory of the whole Christian world was formed during the IV-VII centuries.
