We celebrate the holiday of Summer Nicholas, observe traditions and offer prayers to the saint.
An important church holiday is approaching, named after one of the most revered saints in the Orthodox world. This is Summer Nicholas the Wonderworker. And if we speak in the Church language, then on May 22 we will celebrate the Transfer of the relics of St. Nicholas from the World of Lycians to Bari. What to do on this day, and what actions it is better to abandon, we tell in today's article.
On May 22, it is customary to remember a long history. In 1087 Barian merchants went to the city of Myra Lycian to collect the relics of St. Nicholas. They used force to do this, and then, on May 8, arrived by ship in their hometown of Bari. On May 9, the relics of the Wonderworker were placed in the church of St. Stephen. It was located near the sea.
All this incredible action took place in parallel with the healing of sick people. And this awakened even more in the parishioners, who came just to look at the procession, reverence for Nicholas. A year later, a temple was built there and named in honor of the Wonderworker. It was illuminated by Father Urban.
People call the holiday Summer Nicholas. The saint was the patron and protector of the common people. It protects travelers and seafarers. The Wonderworker gives people hope and faith in a bright future, without dividing them into right and wrong. That is why the faithful so much honor his memory and try to follow the traditions during the celebration of May 22.
What to ask Nicholas and what to do on this day On this holiday you need to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker. People ask him for different things. For example, to make the long journey easy. The girls ask for help in creating a strong family. Those who have been unjustly imprisoned want the saint to help them go free. Those who have doubts about their faith in God want to do so.
Although Nicholas specializes in specific things, you can ask him for anything. St. Nicholas can give you everything if your prayers are sincere and your thoughts are pure. Your voice will be heard!
On May 22, 2023, walk around your house in the morning. This ritual will help protect your home from all adversity. Go to the temple and pray. If someone near the church begs for alms, do not refuse. This is a good day to make business deals. In addition, it is on Nicholas that you need to reconcile with a person dear to you, if you have been in a quarrel with him for a long time.
On the day of celebration, you should abandon all animal products. But any other lean food is allowed. Summer Nikolai is not a holiday during which you can do housework, sew, wash or repair anything in the house.
Postpone all household chores until at least the next day. In addition, you should not borrow money on this day. A borrower can steal your fortune and well-being. This is the best time to get your money back if you owe someone.
If you cannot go to the temple, you can pray at home. Here are the words of prayer.
“O All-Holy Nicholas, the Most Highly Pleasant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in my sorrows a speedy helper, help me, sinner and dull, in this life, pray to the Lord God, grant me the remission of all my sins, greatly sinned from my youth, in all my life, in deed, in word, in thought, and in all my feelings; and in the end of my soul, help me to the chastified, in prayer of the Lord, in the glory and in the Lord’s glorification of God, and in the present day, in the glory of the Lord, and the Lord, and the Lord’s glory of the Father, and the Lord, and the Lord, and the Lord’s deliverance of God, in all my life, in all my life, in all my life, in all my life, in all my life, and the Lord’s glory and the Lord’s glory of all my life, and the Lord’s glory, and the Lord’s glory and the Lord’s glory, and the Lord’s glory, and the Lord’s hand Amen.
Spend May 22 in a circle of loved ones, do not do stupid things and pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker. May God take care of you!
