Saint Nicholas is one of the most revered saints in Orthodoxy. He is considered the protector of the common people, the patron of navigation, trade and agriculture. The memory of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is honored with two big holidays, one of which falls on May 22 and is associated with the transfer of the saint’s relics from Myra Lycia to Bar (Italy) in 1087, and the second - December 19 - is the Day of the Death of Nicholas and is celebrated as the day the Church acquired a new heavenly patron.
Saint Nicholas the Pleasant was called the Wonderworker for the innumerable number of miraculous healings and resurrections from the dead he performed, for his ability to tame and subjugate the elements of the sea, and for other miracles that occurred even when praying to him. The love of the people and the enormous authority of Saint Archbishop Nicholas are inextricably linked with his bright faith, as well as with sensitivity to the requests of people, with his quick and merciful help.

AuthorIt's Nikola's day,
That's right, too lazy to work,
Let's celebrate this holiday,
Let's gather with all the light.
Nikola summer and Nikola winter,
Like a turn of the weather in a quiet hour -
Maybe he'll turn back for the summer,
Or maybe in the cold in January.
Nikola is the patron saint of sailors,
With his hand he protects the cattle,
We ask the Wonderworker Nicholas
To help us in times of trouble and joy.
Memorial Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker,
Christian Savior, protector of people,
On spring day in honor of St. Nicholas, prayers are heard,
He was richer in spirit than princes and kings.
The shore from death of the poor, hungry, destitute,
He was a support to orphans and prison prisoners,
The laity are not allowed to forget Nicholas,
The one whose holy power knew no bounds.
On St. Nicholas Day,
Wonderworker of the winter fairy tale,
I write a wish on a piece of paper,
To have more affection.
I don’t wish myself happiness,
And for the most expensive ones.
I will accept them into my arms,
I will pray for their health!
Today, on St. Nicholas Day,
Wishing you health and joy,
I also want to wish you happiness,
So that you never know grief and misfortune!
Let May rage in your heart and soul,
Love and tenderness flow over the edge,
Let Saint Nicholas help you in life,
And he inspires you to do good deeds!
We celebrate Nikola's Day today,
This holiday has been known for a long time,
He protects us from evil,
But don’t make a mistake yourself anyway,
I wish you a lot of happiness,
Peace, joy, light, warmth,
I wish that life is dear
She was bright, light, beautiful!
Don't ask for much, don't -
Little things will bring joy to the soul.
Don't ask Nikola for much,
He will stand up for you before God.
I wish you simple things:
The roof is strong, there is cabbage soup in a plate,
Not to be in need, but to live in abundance,
Be merciful to all the orphans.
Our Nikola sees everything, he is everywhere,
For your merits he will not leave you in trouble.
Nikolin's day will feed the horse,
That's what the Slavs say,
But are the relics miraculous?
Will we be healed of our illnesses?
What can ashes from a person do?
Where is the strength in him to create?
Let us remember, brothers, we are forever,
That God helps us live!
Only God has the power of healing,
And the Holy Spirit is in Him alone,
And only by God's command,
We love, believe and live!
We are waiting for the rain so that luck will come,
And we are waiting for summer warmth,
The dacha is already bored with its guests,
The cold winter has passed.
Nikola gives us the news of summer,
Gives us its warmth,
Gives songs from dusk to dawn,
And he says that summer has already come.
Nicholas day, Nicholas day
Today the people are celebrating.
Arriving on May 22,
He will leave again that same day.
So let's spend it with dignity,
To remember for the whole year.
Then Nikolina's day of course
One day he will come to us again.
Come on, let's use all our brains
And we think about what Nikolin’s day means.
Let it hit you like “hee hee”
But this is definitely not Kolya’s name day.
We will talk about St. Nicholas the Wonderworker,
He performed miracles without knowing it.
Unfortunately, those who are stupid will not understand,

Fortune telling and rituals for the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
On this day, young people loved to perform rituals and tell fortunes.
Fortune telling for the betrothed
Unmarried girls went out into the yard in the evening, took off their shoes from their left feet and threw them over the gate with all their might. The farther the shoe flies, the farther the girl will go after the wedding. In which direction the toe of the shoe points, that’s where the groom will come to woo. And if the toe of the shoe pointed to the house where the girl lives herself, then she will not get married this year.
Ritual for wealth on the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
In order for money to come into the house, empty wallets were placed in a visible place. Supposedly the saint will see that the person is poor and will help them. Some hung signs with the words “there is nothing” to convey their need to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
Ritual to fulfill a wish for Nikola
To carry it out, a prerequisite is the presence of an icon of St. Nicholas the Pleasant in the house. You will also need 40 church candles. On St. Nicholas Day, you need to put his image on the table and place candles near the icon. Then you should light the candles one by one, and while they are burning, turn to the Wonderworker with your request.

In Russia, Nicholas is considered the most revered saint. It is in Russia that everyone knows about him, even those who have nothing to do with the church in any way. Orthodox Christians remember Nicholas almost every week. But for some reason, it is in Russia that he is more often called the protector of all the poor and their first assistant. People can turn to Nicholas with any of their troubles, and he will intercede before the Almighty, help in trouble, and rescue them from it. Probably for this reason they began to call Nicholas the Wonderworker. He is loved and has always been loved. Evidence of this is the icon in every home. But for what merits is he so loved? And all for his kindness, sympathy for the suffering and help to those in need. Spring Nicholas Day, May 22. After all, the transfer of saints from the cities of Myra to Bari is associated with this date. The date we celebrate St. Nicholas Day (spring) is May 22.

May 22 - spring holiday of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
The spring holiday of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is May 22. They pray to the saint when their hearts are heavy, and they also ask him for help, prosperity, and well-being along the way. Before asking St. Nicholas for something, they read a prayer.
I wish you this from the bottom of my heart,
For what needs do they pray to St. Nicholas?
- Girls and married women pray to St. Nicholas about getting married safely and living with your spouse in love and harmony.
- Drivers, sailors and travelers pray to avoid dangers on the road.
- There are many known cases when St. Nikolai saved drowning people.
- People often resort to the saint as a quick defender of the unjustly offended and slandered.
Prayer to Saint Nicholas
“O all-merciful Father Nicholas, shepherd and teacher of all who flow with faith to your intercession and call upon you with warm prayer! Strive quickly and deliver Christ’s flock from the wolves that are destroying it; and protect every Christian country and save it with your holy prayers from worldly rebellion, cowardice, invasion of foreigners and civil strife, from famine, flood, fire, sword and vain death. And just as you had mercy on three men imprisoned, and you delivered them from the king’s wrath and the beating of the sword, so have mercy on me, in mind, word and deed, in the darkness of sins, and deliver me from the wrath of God and eternal punishment, as through your intercession and With the help of His mercy and grace, Christ God will give me a quiet and sinless life to live in this world and will deliver me from this place, and will make me worthy to be on the right hand with all the saints. Amen."
During his lifetime the saint performed many miracles. Thanks to his prayers, the city of Myra was saved from famine. Appearing in a dream to an Italian merchant and leaving him three gold coins as collateral, which he, waking up in the morning, found in his hand, asked him to sail to Myra and sell rye there.
More than once the saint saved those drowning in the sea, and brought them out of captivity and imprisonment in dungeons.
Appearing in a dream to Saint Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine, Nicholas urged him to release the military leaders unjustly condemned to death, who, while in prison, prayed to the savior. He still helps now, you definitely need to pray to him and ask for help.
Spell for joint pain
“Aches, pains, bone birthmarks, all joints and semi-joints, tops, don’t creak, don’t hurt the servant of God... (name), so that she doesn’t suffer anymore, let her sleep. Amen."
After pronouncing the spell, light a church candle and read the prayer to St. Nicholas three times.
Conspiracy of fear
On Sunday at noon, read the prayer to St. Nicholas, light a church candle and, approaching the icon, say:
“There is no fear, neither in the dark night, nor in the light of day, nor in the deserted desert, nor in fire, nor in water, nor in military affairs, nor in fistfights, nor in the face of the deceased, nor in earthly judgment. There is no fear in the heart of the servant of God/servant of God... (name). In the name of Jesus Christ himself, the Son of God, who was not afraid of death on the cross. Amen."

For women, the procedure begins with hot water, for men - with cold water. After you wash yourself for the seventh time, looking at the water running away, say: “Water, holy water! You wash everything and cleanse everything! Wash away from me, God's servant/slave... (name) the touches, ghosts, troubles, adversity. Amen". And read it three times "Our Father".
To prevent the child from getting into bad company
This plot is also read after a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, at the head of the bed of a sleeping child.
“Go, child, to your home and do not bow to anyone else except your father, except your mother. Bow to the icon (Nicholas the Pleasant) (3 times) and submit to your parents. Amen."
“May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke disappears, let them disappear, as wax melts from the face of fire, so let demons perish from the face of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has been buried on you. , who descended into hell and trampled upon the power of the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen."
Safe words on the way
“The Road is a princess, the Path is my king. There was faith in Christ in ancient times, and there is faith to this day. With me is my shield, Jesus Christ himself, the hand of Savior from every enemy. Whoever reaches out to me will become a dead man himself. The key is in the mouth, the lock is in the river, the amulet is on me. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
I illuminated you with warmth and happiness, enveloped you in fun and goodness!
