A Day in History

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is one of the most revered saints in Christianity, especially beloved in Russia. He is called God's Pleaser, the intercessor for the orphaned and wronged, a swift helper in times of trouble. He is commemorated several times a year. And one of these feast days is the Nativity of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker on August 11. In folk tradition, this day came to be known as "Nicholas of Autumn" ("Nikola Osenny") and was accompanied by special omens, prohibitions, and prayers.
The faithful turn to him with prayers in the most varied life situations because he is known as a helper and intercessor. The image of Nicholas has always been associated with justice and mercy. This is precisely why he became a beloved Russian saint, and not only there.
What one can ask Saint Nicholas for in prayer🙏:
— for health — one's own or that of loved ones;
— for healing from illnesses;
— for help on the road, on a journey, while traveling;
— for arranging family life, for creating a strong family;
— for success in studies or in exams;
— for protection from injustice;
— for spiritual comfort, support in sorrows and fears;
— for financial aid and for deliverance from debts;
— for finding a job or for prosperity in business affairs;
— for peace within the family and the resolution of conflicts.
