The Miracle of Saint Nicolaos

Agios Nicolaos was the only son of a wealthy and pious family in Lycia. After the death of his parents, he handed over his fortune to the poor. He became known for his charity work, despite his efforts to hide it. During his ascetic life, he heard the voice of God directing him to spend his life with people, because in that way he would glorify His name. He was elected as the Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, where he served his flock like a genuine shepherd. During the reign of Diocletian and Maximilian, he taught people the power of the Lord. Polite, honest, righteous, he was a real Angel to all people. In the Christian tradition, there are many citations of sea-related miracles performed by Agios Nicolaos. He is considered the patron saint of seamen, of the Greek Navy and the Coast Guard. All the ships of the navy, both military and commercial, have his icon as protector. He passed away on December 6 in 343 A.D.
