From the life of a saint
The biography of the holy saint indicates that he devoted his life to serving the Lord and people. Although Nikolai was born into a rich family, he understood the needs of the poor. From childhood, the boy was attached to the church and studied the Holy Scriptures. He was appointed reader under his uncle, the bishop. Over time, he elevated the young man to the rank of priest. The Holy Pleasant was constantly in prayer. Many were surprised at his knowledge beyond his years.
After the death of his parents, Nikolai distributed his inheritance to those in need. He helped one townsman who had become a beggar and was thinking about giving his daughters away to commit fornication. Nikolai threw three bags of money out the window of his house at night. This saved the family from sinful acts. Soon the daughters married successfully, and their father lived out his years in prosperity. Throughout his life, Nikolai performed many miracles.
- Calming the elements with the power of prayer while traveling to Jerusalem to worship the shrines. On the way, the saint predicted disaster, because he saw Satan himself on the deck. After the storm was calmed, the Wonderworker revived the sailor who had fallen from a high mast.
- Saving the city of Myra from hunger - Nicholas appeared in a dream to a rich merchant and asked him to bring wheat to the townspeople. When he woke up, he found 3 gold coins in his fist and fulfilled the saint’s request.
- Rescue of three innocently convicted men. Before the execution, Ugodnik stopped the executioner and accused the mayor of lying. The latter admitted his guilt. Nicholas also appeared in a dream to the emperor and asked for the release of military leaders who were present at the execution and were then unjustly convicted.
The Holy Saint opposed idolatry. Once he struck a heretic, for which he was imprisoned and deprived of his omophorion. The Lord and the Most Pure Virgin then appeared to many priests in a dream, who gave Nicholas the Holy Scriptures and an omophorion. The saint was released when in prison the clergy saw the same thing as in their dreams. The miracle worker was re-erected.
