St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Our Church celebrates this great Saint twice a year, and in the common parlance these feasts are called Winter Nicholas and Spring Nicholas, December 19 and May 22, according to the new calendar. After school, after I had eaten dinner and played for a while, my grandmother seated me at the table under the icons to write out the Akathist to St. Nicholas for a sick aunt. Even now I vividly remember the thin notebooks and its horizontal lines; on the back cover was printed the solemn oath of the young pioneer. I remember my porcelain inkwell, painted with gold butterflies, and its little lid, and my pen with its little lid, and my pen its wonderful #12 nib. I nearly and painstakingly wrote the prayerful words and hurried just a little bit, because soon the children would be coming for me so we could go skating and jumping through the snowdrifts together. But I rushed painstakingly, so that my grandmother would be satisfied and let me go. In the morning she and I would be going to church, and I was afraid that she might forbid such a worldly amusement.
"The children arrived when I had finished writing the thirteenth kontakion and had begun writing the prayer. I asked them to wait until I was done. The fidgety Lyba poked her nose into the notebook: 'What are you writing?' I turned away: 'Something... my grandmother needs it.' But the children had read the word 'Prayer.' In scholl the teachers and youth leaders had already explained to us that there was no God. The most politically conscious of them began to tease me, and the most advance one, Tanya B., made her ink-stained fingers into a figushka (a rude gesture) and pointed them at St. Nicholas in the icon: 'Here Look! I'm not afraid of your old fogey gods.! What do you think - wil he cut off my hands, feet and ears? So there!'
"Blotting what I had written and closing the notebook, I blinked with confusion, glancing at the solemn oath of the young pioneer. My grandmother came in from the other room, stern but dear. She took the notebook and looked at what was written in it. considered even the word 'figushka' to be wild and unseemly on my lips, which, of course, it would have been.
"We were in church on Sunday. I stood right by the icon of Winter Nicholas - in this icon the Saint is painted in a mitre, whereas in the Spring icon he has nothing on his head. In the church I liked the Winter Nicholas - it was more majestic

Saint Nicholas (Planas) of Athens, Greece
HIS SANCTITY.
The children who were in church would see him shining with heavenly light, doing unexplainable gestures, or remaining for a long time attentive, as if something were happening to him. There were the moments when he was communicating with the saints and being drenched with the light of Paradise. Many times they would see him not standing on the ground.
Father Nicholas is this high off the ground" and he showed her with his hand a half cubit above the ground. "Don't be afraid, my child, all priests are elevated off the ground that way when they liturgies," his mother responded, doing her cross to settle him down.
The children would see him being elevated to the sky and not stepping upon the ground, because he scorned all earthly and material things. His mind was high up, on Him Who He worshipped, and he would not turn his eyes to look at what the people call material goods.
THE APPEARANCE OF ANGELS.
Once he set out on his own to go to chapel in Peristeri, but he lost his way. He advanced, distressed and praying, without knowing where he was going, until he saw a young lad in front of him, saying to him, "Did you lose your way, Father? I will guide you." The young lad went in front and Father Nicholas went behind, and they reached the door of the church. Here he, himself, relates what happened: "As soon as we reached outside the door, I turned to give him thanks, and immediately he shone brilliantly, and I lost him."
When he liturgies, he wanted everything to contribute to the majesty of the Divine Liturgy.
He chanted with such contrition that he would hear the angels chanting with him.
He is the patron of schoolchildren, sailors, travelers and pilgrims, prisoners and many others
