From the life of Nikolai Ugodnik (brief information)

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker lived in the 3rd century and from a young age was distinguished by an insatiable desire to serve the Lord. As a clergyman, he became a shining example for his parishioners, showing the residents of Lycia the true path to salvation. After several years of service in the church, he was appointed Bishop of Myra in Lycia.

An interesting fact from the biography of St. Nicholas is his miraculous birth. The future miracle worker was born in the city of Patara into a Christian family, which for a long time couldn't have children. Theophanes and Nonna (that was the name of his parents) earnestly prayed to God for a child, vowing to devote the newborn to the service of the Lord, and their prayer was miraculously heard.

At the dawn of his youth, Nikolai showed numerous talents: he observed fasting, studied with great diligence Holy Scripture, amazed those around him with deep wisdom. During his lifetime, he performed many miracles and healings, which made him famous among believers. Having destroyed paganism, the priest brought peace and goodness to the people, showing Christians the true path of salvation through repentance and love for one's neighbor.

The asceticism of Nicholas the Wonderworker was carried out during times of persecution of Christians, and the bishop was imprisoned. However, he not only bravely endured torture and hardship, but also supported the rest of those imprisoned with the power of his faith.

Galerius (successor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian) abolished the persecution of Christians. Coming out of prison, Saint Nicholas again occupied the See of Myra. By the grace of God he lived to see old age and died peacefully on December 6, 342. Now His relics, exuding fragrant and miraculous myrrh, are kept in the Italian city of Bari.

With his prayers, the holy saint could pacify the elements, save entire cities from hunger and drought, reconcile enemies, and heal the seriously ill. He was not just the bishop of Myra in Lycia, but a great ascetic who loved people and supported them in every possible way.

But even if we bring you many psalms and songs composed from the heart, O miracle-working saint, we do nothing equal to the granting of your miracles, and in wonder, we cry out to you like this: Rejoice, King of kings and servant of the Lord of lords; Rejoice, cohabitants of His heavenly servants. Rejoice, help to faithful people; Rejoice, kind of Christian exaltation. Rejoice, victory of the same name; Rejoice, proud crowned one. Rejoice, mirror of all virtues; Rejoice, everyone who flows to you has been taken away by the strong. Rejoice, all our hope is in God and the Mother of God; Rejoice, health to our bodies and salvation to our souls. Rejoice, for through you we are freed from eternal death; Rejoice, for through you we have been granted endless life. Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker."

“O most holy and wonderful Father Nicholas, consolation of all who mourn, accept our present offering and implore the Lord to deliver us from Gehenna through your God-pleasing intercession, so that we may sing with you: Alleluia.”

“An angel in the form of an earthly being, show to you the Creator of all creation; Having foreseen the fruitful kindness of your soul, blessed Nicholas, teach everyone to cry out to you: Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker.

Akathist to Saint and Wonderworker Nicholas

Rejoice, purified from the womb of motherhood; Rejoice, even you who are completely sanctified. Rejoice, you who surprised your parents with your birth; Rejoice, you who revealed the strength of your soul at Christmas. Rejoice, garden of the land of promise; Rejoice, flower of the Divine planting. Rejoice, virtuous vine of Christ's grapes; Rejoice, miraculous tree of Jesus' paradise. Rejoice, the end of the paradisiacal vegetation; Rejoice, myrrh of Christ's fragrance. Rejoice, for you will drive away sobbing; Rejoice, for you bring joy.

IN the outpouring of your peace, God-wise, we are enlightened in souls and bodies, you are a wondrous myrrh-bearer of life, Nicholas, understanding: miracles are like waters pouring out with the grace of God, you faithfully cry out to God: Alleluia.

R An unintelligible mind, admonishing about the Holy Trinity, you were in Nicaea with the holy fathers, a champion of the confession of the Orthodox faith: for you confessed equal to the Father, co-essential and co-throne with the Father, but you denounced the foolish Aria. For this sake, for the sake of faithfulness, I have learned to sing to you:

Rejoice, great pillar of piety; Rejoice, faithful refuge of the city. Rejoice, solid strengthening of Orthodoxy; Rejoice, the honorable One of the Most Holy Trinity was also praised. Rejoice, Thou who preached the Son with equal honor to the Father; Rejoice, you drove away Aria, who was enraged from the Council of Saints. Rejoice, father, glorious beauty of the fathers; Rejoice, wise kindness to all the God-wise. Rejoice, you who utter fiery words; Rejoice, teach your flock well. Rejoice, for through you faith is confirmed; Rejoice, for through you the heresy is being overthrown.

Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker.

WITH With the silt given to you from above, you took away every tear from the face of those who were sorely suffering, God-bearing Father Nicholas: for you appeared to the hungry as a feeder, to those in the depths of the seas as a great ruler, to those who were sick, healing and every helper appeared to everyone, crying out to God: Alleluia.

AND I know truly, Father Nicholas, a song will be sung to you from Heaven, and not from earth: how can any man from man be able to preach your shrine of greatness? But we, overcome by your love, cry out to you:

Rejoice, image of lambs and shepherds; Rejoice, holy purifier of morals. Rejoice, repository of great virtues; Rejoice, holy and pure dwelling. Rejoice, all-bright and all-loving lamp; Rejoice, golden and immaculate light. Rejoice, worthy interlocutor of Angels; Rejoice, good teacher of men. Rejoice, rule of pious faith; Rejoice, image of spiritual meekness. Rejoice, for through you we are delivered from bodily passions; Rejoice, for through you we are filled with spiritual sweets.

Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker.

B A rush of bewilderment confuses my mind, how worthy it is to sing your miracles, blessed Nicholas; No one can erase me, even if I had many tongues and wanted to speak; but we marvel at God, who is glorified in you, and dare to sing: Alleluia.

WITH Hearing, God-wise Nicholas, the greatness of your miracles near and far, as if you were accustomed to precede those in trouble through the air with light, grace-filled wings, quickly delivering from them all who cry out to you like this:

Rejoice, speedy consoler of those in trouble; Rejoice, terrible punisher of those who offend. Rejoice, abyss of miracles, poured out by God; Rejoice, the tablet of the law of Christ, written by God. Rejoice, strong erection of those who fall; Rejoice, rightful affirmation. Rejoice, for through you all flattery is laid bare; Rejoice, for through you all truth comes true.

Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker.

B the holy star appeared, instructing those floating on the sea, whose death is soon approaching sometimes, if you had not appeared to those calling you for help, Wonderworker Saint Nicholas; You are already unashamed of the flying demons and forbade those who want to load ships, you drove them away, but you taught the faithful to cry out to the God who saves you: Alleluia.

IN When the young women went to a nasty marriage for the sake of poverty for the sake of being prepared, your great mercy is for the poor, blessed Father Nicholas, when you gave the bundles of three hidden gold to their elder father at night, saving him and his daughters from the fall of sin. For this reason you hear from everyone:

Rejoice, great treasure of mercy; Rejoice, friend of industry for people. Rejoice, food and joy for those who come running to you; Rejoice, uneaten bread of the hungry. Rejoice, wealth given by God to the poor living on earth; Rejoice, speedy exaltation of the poor. Rejoice, quick hearing of the poor; Rejoice, pleasant care for those who mourn. Rejoice, three virgins, immaculate bride; Rejoice, zealous guardian of purity. Rejoice, unreliable hope; Rejoice, joy of the whole world.

Rejoice, Nicholas, great Wonderworker.

IN You shone an animal light, bringing deliverance to the commanders who had accepted unrighteous death, to you, good shepherd Nicholas, who called, when you soon appeared in a dream of the princess, you frightened him, and you ordered them to be released unharmed. For this reason, we are happy with them and we cry out to you in gratitude:

Rejoice, help those who earnestly call upon you; Rejoice, deliverer from unrighteous murder. Rejoice, keep away from flattering slander; Rejoice, destroy the unrighteous councils.

N We mean the same Noah, the mentor of the ark of salvation, Holy Father Nicholas, who disperses the storm of all fierce ones with his direction, but brings Divine silence to those crying out like this:

Rejoice, you who are overwhelmed by a quiet refuge; Rejoice, drowning famous repository. Rejoice, good pilot of those floating in the midst of the depths; Rejoice, calmer of the sea. Rejoice, transport of those who are in whirlwinds; Rejoice, warming of those who are in the filth. Rejoice, radiance that disperses the sorrowful darkness; Rejoice, luminary, illuminating all the ends of the earth. Rejoice, you deliver sinful people from the abyss; Rejoice, cast Satan into the abyss of hell. Rejoice, for through you we boldly invoke the abyss of God’s mercy; Rejoice, for by you having been delivered from the flood of wrath, we find peace with God.
