Николай Угодник; Николай Чудотворец

До глубокой старости они не имели детей; в непрестанной горячей молитве они просили Всевышнего дать им сына, обещая посвятить его служению Богу. Молитва их была услышана: Господь даровал им сына, который при святом крещении получил имя Николай, что значит по-гречески — "побеждающий народ”. Уже в первые дни своего младенчества святитель Николай показал, что он предназначен на особое служение Господу.

The saint Nicholas - the most amazing saint who is in the Christian Church , not only in the Orthodox . He is revered Orthodox, Catholics, and even people of other religions - so he is great in his standing before God , to protect the peace , for all those who refer to it .

St. Nicholas is present in our family all the time. It is named in honor of my great ancestor - Nicholas Evgrafovich Pestov , the name of Nicholas wore my uncle , who was killed at the front.

What I also named in honor of St. Nicholas, the first time I became aware of when I was 6-7 years old . His heavenly patronage I feel throughout life .

St. Nicholas Day - for me a personal holiday : for I bear his name , under the cover of his prayers. Very great pleasure for me to become a pilgrimage to the place of his life - to Myra in Lycia , and his relics , which are located in the city of Bari. And then life was such that I became rector of St. Nicholas Church in Tolmachev at the Tretyakov Gallery, which is most holy - the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God . And on the fisheries of the relics of Saint was given to our church .

On the day of my appointment, I consecrated one of the apartments in Moscow , where I was presented with an icon of St. Nicholas . The fact that I was appointed rector of the church , I did not know then . This news met me at home, standing with the icon of the saint in his hands. With this icon , and I came to the temple , where there reigned desolation , devastation, there were no icons ...

What can I say about the Saint Nicholas ? In his prayers, everything in our lives is arranged . When sincerely treat him, he helps. He always side by side, if we genuinely experiencing and behave with dignity. Wonderworker intercedes for us in the most unexpected situations.

One of our parishioners told me that after the war in the Tretyakov Gallery , an exhibition of paintings, which were returned to the Dresden gallery. It was impossible to get in there , people stood in line for days on end . And then it turned to the old man , who called for him. He led her through the cordon, where they have not asked any tickets or invitations. When going to the Sistine Madonna , she turned to thank the escort , he was gone . That's when you least expect it , the holy helps.
