Nikolai wardwoman wonderworker congratulations. Holiday Nikolai Wonderworker. Folk traditions celebration of the Day of Memory Nicholas
St. Nicholas Day Wonderworker is noted more than once a year. December 19, the day of the Holy Memory, I remember the day of the death of Saint, August 11 - his birth. In the people, these two holidays called Nicolas Winter and Nicola Autumn. On May 22, believers remember the transfer of the relics of the saint and the wonderworker Nicholas from the world of Lycian in Bari, which occurred in 1087. On Rus, this day was called Nikola Sprint (that is, spring), or Nikola Summer. All these holidays are not overgoing, that is, their dates are fixed.
St. Nicholas is called Russian Saints. Russian Orthodox consider him a special patron and especially pray to this saint. But the saint was never in Russia, and there was no Russia then. The Saint Nicholas remained very little historically reliable information. But it is amazing that this saint for centuries is so honored by the Church that, for example, in Russia, Nikolsky temples as much as nowhere is there anywhere.
Nikolay Raman was born in 270 in the town of Patary, which was located in the field of Lycia in Malaya Asia and was a Greek colony. Parents of the future Archbishop were very important people, but at the same time believed in Christ and actively helped the poor.
As life says, the Saint since childhood completely devoted himself to faith, spent a lot of time in the temple. Moldoval, became a reader, and then a priest in the church, where his uncle served, Bishop Nikolai Patarsky.
After the death of parents, Nikolai, the wonderworker distributed all his inheritance poor and continued the church ministry. In the years when the attitude of Roman emperors to Christians has become more tolerant, but the persecution nevertheless continued, he ascended to the Episcopal throne in the world. Now this town is called a demre, it is located in the province of Antalya in Turkey.
The new Archbishop was very loved by people: he was good, meek, fair, responsive - no request to him remained unanswered. With all this, Nikolai was remembered to contemporaries as an irreconcilable fighter with paganism - destroyed idols and the capital, and the defender of Christianity - the tricks of heretics.
Last lifetime, the saint became famous for many wonders. Saving the city of the world from terrible hunger - with his hot prayer to Christ. I prayed and topics helped sown sailors on the vessels, removed from imprisonment in prisons unjust convicted.
Nikolay the waters lived to deep old age and died about 345-351 - the exact date is unknown.
Wonders of St. Nicholas Wonderworker
Nikolay The Wonderworker is considered a patron, an intercession and a prayerman about floating and, in general, everyone who travels. For example, as the life of the Saint, in the young years, traveling from the world to Alexandria, he resurrected the sailor, who during a brutal storms broke down from the ship's mast and, falling on the deck, crashed to death.
One thieves lived, who had superstitious love for the desserves, and whenever, going to theft, put the holy candle. It only seems from the side that nonsense is obvious. After all, we yourself often create and ask unknown that, without noticing the absurdity of their actions. So, the thief put the holy candle and asked for help in theft. Long everything went with his hands, and he attributed to this good luck to the help of St. Nicholas Wonderworker. As suddenly one day, this particular "devout" thief was spotted by people during theft. Simple people have trouble short. A sinner caught on sin, beating, and then kill. The men chased unhappy. Death approached him and began to breathe in the head.
Running from the pursuers, he saw the fallen horse behind the village. The corpse was lying on the ground for a long time, the worms crawled along the body of the animal, and the air around was poisoned by the smell of rot. But mortal fear is stronger than any squeamishness. The thief climbed into the rotting of the womb and there, among the saint interns, hid. The persecutors even in the head could not come that the runaway was able to hide in the corpse. Walking around and quarreling nothing, they went home.
And our "Gentleman of Good luck", dilding from the Smrade, burst between fear of retaliation and the desire to breathe fresh air. And here he, barely alive from fear and vony, is Nikolai. "How are you here?" - asks the saint. "Batyushka Nikolay, I am barely alive from the Smrade!" - answers unhappy. What the saint is responsible for him: "That's how your candles are merciful me." Sleeve comments.
Moral - immediately, on the surface. The prayer of the sinner will suffer, and not fragrant. It is necessary not only to pray, but also the life to correct, as it takes. So? So. And as someone from the literary heroes said: "So it is so, and not so." Nikolay still saved the sinner! Prayer, though smadded, but came to St. Nicholas, and at the right time, the saint Nicholas remembered the sinner and did not leave him in danger.
