Icon Nikolas

In every Russian house, from a peasant hut to a boyar choir, next to the icons of the Savior and the Mother of God there was an icon of St. Nicholas. In Russia, he became Nicholas the Pleasant, to whom they prayed for the harvest, for protection from all sorts of misfortunes, droughts, pestilence, plague, unrighteous libel, healing from ailments, etc. It was believed that everything that was asked of the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker would be granted with sincere faith in prayer. This is the meaning of the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker people's defender and defender. It is found in every small rural church, and in the largest churches, and everywhere the prayer before the icon of St. Nicholas is raised no less often than before the faces of Jesus and the Mother of God.
