Almost all Christians know: if something goes wrong with you, or a series of failures has begun, you must definitely turn to St. Nicholas for help. Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help is one of the most powerful, and the Saint himself quickly responds to the call. Orthodox Christians celebrate December 19 as the day of St. Nicholas. From ancient times, the Miracle Worker is considered the patron saint of wanderers, sailors, helps the poor and the wretched, blessed and unhappy.
Saint's life
The whole life of Nicholas the Wonderworker is proof that the blessed and the poor will be in heaven. The life path of the Saint confirms the truth of these words. He himself was a beggar in the middle of his life, had no home. But even after taking the rank of Bishop Lycia, the saint ate food once a day - in the evening.
A prayer for help in deeds addressed to St. Nicholas is used very often, because it is this saint who is one of the most famous saints of God. He was born in Patara, a town on the Asia Minor Peninsula, in 258. His parents did not have children for a long time and prayed to the Lord to give them a child, while making a vow that he would be dedicated to God. And they kept their word. Nikolai served the Lord God from his childhood, constantly worked for his good, was in prayer, and came to the aid of the afflicted.
Miracles of prayer
When the saint traveled to the Holy Land, he predicted a storm, threatening a wreck for ships. He had a vision of the devil, who entered the ship, but the saint with his prayers drove him away, pacified the storm and even resurrected the sailor who fell from the mast and crashed to death. Since then, prayer - a request for the help of sailors and travelers - has been addressed to St. Nicholas. The miracle man performed during his lifetime. The most miraculous word of mouth is when he delivered the death of three men who were unjustly convicted by the mayor.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help has always been very effective. Even in ancient times, those in power and the poor turned to him for help. Due to the fact that a prayer was said to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help, the city of Mira was saved from severe hunger. The saint helped the hermits out of captivity and out of dungeons. Now the relics of the saint are in Italy, in the small town of Bari. Pilgrims go to the grave of the old man to thank for the miracle granted in life, or ask for protection.
