In the old days, St. Nicholas Day was always celebrated cheerfully: they organized festivities, set a sumptuous table, and invited guests. This is a fun holiday, so December 19 should be spent in joy and fun. But first, pray.
St. Nicholas Day in our country is always celebrated on December 19th every year. It is believed that it is on the night of the 19th that the saint comes to our homes to bring joy to the little ones. On this day, it is customary to put sweets under children’s pillows, and in Europe (Germany, for example) there are special socks: they are hung by the fireplace. On this day you should definitely go to church and pray. The best way to start the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is with a morning service.

A person faces many problems. And if skeptics believe that they can handle everything themselves, believers know who to ask for help: a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker will never let you down! This great man is respected all over the world, it is not in vain. The memory of great miracles has reached us from the depths of centuries.
Defender of widows, orphans and the poor - Nicholas the Wonderworker
The image of Nicholas the Wonderworker is familiar to everyone - an elderly man with a round pleasant face, with a beard and mustache. He is dressed in church vestments because he was a priest during his lifetime. Prayer for help to his neighbors was a habitual thing for him, which he continued even after he settled in the heavenly abodes. The saint appeared to many people even after death, helping them escape from troubles.
There is a known case when he helped a robber escape from pursuit. The fact is that the bandit used to light a candle to the saint before going on business. But one day the wise old man appeared to him and said that until he gave up his work, he did not want to accept candles from him or hear his prayers. Thus the saint showed both his kindness (he nevertheless saved the man) and his wisdom (he admonished him to abandon his unrighteous occupation).
This example also shows great humility - after all, even the saint did not condemn the sinner, leaving this matter to the Lord. Therefore, the prayer of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is especially pure and bright before the Creator. Most people cannot achieve such clear peace of mind and give up the desire to judge everyone around them. Therefore, it is customary to ask for help from those for whom prayer has become the mainstay of life.
In what cases should we pray to St. Nicholas
In the Catholic tradition, it is believed that the Wonderworker Nicholas especially helps children. You can pray if the kids are sick, do not study well and do not obey their parents. The image of the saint is very similar to Santa Claus - because it was this saint who became his prototype.
The reason was the rescue of one poor family. She was in dire need of livelihood. At night, the saint secretly threw bags filled with coins out of the window. This happened several times; one of the gifts ended up in a stocking that was drying by the stove.
The father of the family, hearing the ringing, ran out into the street and recognized the benefactor. This is how this case became known. This is how the custom of putting Christmas gifts in stockings arose. That is why they ask Nicholas the Wonderworker for help in financial matters - during his life he was never greedy, he gave away all his substantial fortune to the poor.
Finding a worthy groom is also important. This also needs to be prayed for. Nicholas the Wonderworker will help the girl find a husband worthy of sincere love. The meeting of two people sometimes occurs under surprising circumstances - in such cases you can be sure that help has come from above.
How do prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker help?
A person does not consist of only one soul; he must also take care of the body. According to the Creator's plan, it is called to be healthy. Sins leave their mark on everything, which is why people today are susceptible to many diseases. But even the most terrible ones recede if you pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with faith. It is customary to take oil from a lamp and anoint the sick person with it, and a prayer must be read. In many churches there are icons with the relics of the saint; by faith, you can receive recovery from them.
The veneration of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Rus' was so great that it was almost as great as the belief in the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary. It is not for nothing that the faces of Christ are always present in the home iconostasis, and St. Nicholas and the Kazan Mother of God. People ask him for help in literally any matter:
- at work;
- in caring for livestock;
- when harvesting;
- in beekeeping.
Over time, people's love only grew stronger. Of course, a person has many more professions, but the saint hears all prayers. It doesn't matter what a believer does. The main thing is to sincerely love God and believe in Him. Then Nikola the Wonderworker will not turn away.
What prayers to read
The prayers are composed in a variety of ways - for any need, an akathist is read, this is a type of church verse that praises all the virtues of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, lists miracles, and at the end contains requests for help. You can supplement them with your own words, tell about your situation as if you were a loved one, without hiding anything. When turning to higher powers, there is only one inviolable rule - you cannot scold, insult and denigrate other people, blame them for your mistakes, or wish them harm.
You can order a prayer service for St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the church and invite your loved ones to it, who also need help. The prayer can also be read short. For example, when you pass by a temple, cross yourself and turn to God: “Lord, have mercy!” And then to the saint: “St. Father Nicholas, pray to God for us!”
The physical and spiritual state of modern people is much different from what it was 100 years ago. The benefits of civilization are not always useful - people are overweight, overwhelmed by stress, rarely leave the house, and are concerned only with pressing problems. Therefore, it is very useful to put aside all matters and communicate with the Lord and the saints. It calms the soul and helps find solutions to many issues. God help you!
Three prayers to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help with money, work and health

Prayer to Saint Nicholas - third
Oh, all-good Father Nicholas, shepherd and teacher of all who flow by faith to your intercession, and who call on you with warm prayer, quickly strive and deliver the flock of Christ from the wolves that destroy it, that is, from the invasion of the evil Latins who are rising against us.
Protect and preserve our country, and every country existing in Orthodoxy, with your holy prayers from worldly rebellion, the sword, the invasion of foreigners, from internecine and bloody warfare.

Amen.
Help of prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Prayer to the patron saints is a sacred action that brings spiritual strengthening and relief to a Christian believer.
It is believed that our problems in all areas of life are due to the fact that our spiritual vision is clouded, and worldly concerns distract us too much from the worship of the Lord. To cleanse themselves of superficial things and strengthen their faith, they perform a cycle of prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. How to conduct such home service correctly and can it change your destiny for the better?
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, changing fate
This prayer is said by believers who need protection from unexpected disasters, ask for healing from a serious illness, their own or a loved one, and also before traveling, to ease the hardships along the way.
But the most amazing effect of this prayer is the opportunity to completely change your destiny for the better.
People attribute a miraculous effect to the words of prayer and the ritual that accompanies it, which, however, from the point of view of the church borders on pagan beliefs. If you are a church-going Christian, be sure to approach this prayer with the right attitude. Don’t look for a better prayer, a longer text, a more complex ritual, but tune yourself into humility in your heart; during prayer, put into your request a feeling of complete acceptance of your fate, no matter how difficult it may seem.
How to properly organize prayer at home
As in other types of service to the Lord, there are recommendations that make the ritual itself correct and help to better express one’s spiritual aspiration. If something doesn’t work out for you - for example, there is no consecrated icon, no lamp - do not give up on what you have planned, just put more effort into concentrated prayer.
Lead a lifestyle that is decent for an Orthodox Christian, avoid overeating, smoking and drinking on days of prayer. This, of course, is not fasting, but it also requires strictness towards yourself.
The prayer that changes fate is read daily, without omission, for forty days. If you forgot or couldn’t, start the countdown again.
Prepare the text, memorize it, and if you have a bad memory and the words are confused, read from sight.
You need to say a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker three times, out loud, in a low voice and mentally. Mental utterance has the greatest power - this has always been believed in all religions.
You need to pray to the image - to do this, place an icon consecrated in the temple in front of you in the eastern direction. Do not hide it for forty days, and if you sincerely believe, then let it continue to stand and sanctify the room. The room with icons must always be clean; you must not swear, watch TV or cook food.
Light a lamp during prayer, if possible. Few people know that for a home lamp in front of an image you need permission from a priest from your church. This involves baptism, communion and confession. If you have not yet completed these ordinances, strive to do so as soon as possible.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper!
Help me, a sinner and sad person in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
If you are unable to understand the Old Russian version and feel that the text distracts from spiritual thoughts, read the modern translation of the prayer:
Oh, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, God's Pleasant and Savior. Over the years of my life, unexpiated sins have settled in me. Let them go from my soul and help me change my destiny in a spiritual direction. Help me become kinder, more tolerant and closer to the Lord God. Do not give up on me for my mistakes, mistakes and sinful acts. Protect me from demonic possession and do not punish me for selfishness and destructive envy. Help me change the course of fate and direct it into the mainstream of Church Orthodoxy. And when my fate changes for the bright side, take my soul at the appointed hour and intercede for me on the days of judgment. Let it be so. Amen.
The attitude with which you approach your patron is very important. Fear, selfishness and greed force people to diligently search for a magic wand, how to change their fate by simply getting rid of problems, but without changing inside. This approach is considered selfish and is not encouraged by the church.
In contrast, sincerity purifies the thoughts and heart, opening a person’s path to the salvation of the soul. And having been cleansed, the person praying feels fresh strength, renewal and peace, necessary for real positive changes in any difficult situation. Therefore, the question of whether it is possible to change fate refers to your willingness to change internally.

Help me, a sinner and despondent in this life!

By your procession, most holy father, the sea was sanctified, when your many miraculous relics marched to the city of Bari, so that the name of the Lord would be praised from east to west.
O most skillful and wondrous miracle worker, quick helper, ardent intercessor, good shepherd, saving the verbal flock from all troubles! We glorify you and magnify you as the hope of all Christians, the source of miracles, the protector of the faithful to God, the wise teacher, the hungry nourisher, the weeping consolation, the naked garment, the sick doctor, the helmsman floating on the sea, the liberator of captives, the widows and orphans, the nourisher and intercessor, the guardian of chastity , infants a gentle teacher, old people strengthened, fasting people a mentor, workers resting, the poor and wretched abundant wealth!

For we know, we know how much the prayer of the righteous can work for good; We have you, the righteous one, after the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, as a representative to the All-Merciful God, and we humbly resort to your, most gracious Father, ardent intercession and protection!
You save us, like a cheerful and good shepherd, from all enemies, pestilence, earthquakes, hail, famine, floods, fire, death, attacks of foreigners, and in all our troubles and sorrows, give us a helping hand, and open to us the doors of God’s mercy!
For we are unworthy to look at the heights of heaven because of the multitude of our iniquities: we are bound by the bonds of sins, and have never fulfilled the will of our Creator and have not kept His commandments.
Therefore, we bow our knees with a contrite and humble heart before our Creator, and we ask for your fatherly intercession before Him: help us, saint of God, so that we do not perish with our iniquities, deliver us from all evil and from all things contrary to God, enlighten us and strengthen our hearts ours in the right faith, in which, through your intercession and intercession, let us not be shaken by wounds, threats, pestilence, or any wrath of our Creator, but here we will live our lives peacefully and will be honored to see the blessings on the land of the living, glorifying the Father and the Son , and the Holy Spirit, One in the Trinity, glorified and worshiped God, now and always, and forever and ever, amen.

Righteous living
Saint Nicholas was born into a deeply religious family. His parents Feofan and Nonna could not conceive a child for a long time; they prayed earnestly and promised the Almighty to dedicate their future child to the Church of Christ.
A boy was born, his parents named him Nikolai. From the first days of his life, the baby began to surprise those around him. During the Sacrament of Baptism, a newborn baby stood in the font on his own legs without anyone's support for about 3 hours. Thus, he glorified the Holy Trinity, and his mother Nonna, who was seriously ill after childbirth, was healed.
From infancy, Nikola became a faster: he drank his mother’s breast milk exclusively on Wednesday and Friday, but only after the evening parental prayers.
Since childhood, he studied the Holy Scriptures: he spent the whole day in church, and in the evenings and nights he read and prayed. His uncle, the Bishop of Patara, rejoiced at his nephew’s spiritual achievements. Over time, he appointed the boy a reader, and later elevated him to the priesthood; he was entrusted with teaching the flock the Commandments of God.

Nicholas was in constant prayer, stayed awake and worked, saved the suffering, was merciful, distributed most of his property to the poor, and hid his good deeds as much as possible.
One day Nikola learned that trouble had struck the family of a formerly rich city dweller - he was in deep need and poverty. He raised three daughters alone, and in order to save his family from hunger, the desperate man conceived a great sin - to give them over to fornication. The saint grieved for the sinner and one night secretly threw 3 bags of gold coins into his window, thereby saving the family from spiritual death.
One day Nicholas asked the bishop for a blessing to travel to the Holy Land. On the way, he predicted an approaching storm that threatened to wreck the ship, for he saw the devil coming on board the ship. The sailors became agitated and begged the saint to calm the elements. Through the saint’s prayer, one of the ship’s sailors, who had fallen to death from a high mast, was brought back to life.

Saint Nicholas remained the same great ascetic of the Church, showing his flock the image of meekness, gentleness and great love. Even during the time of persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian, the imprisoned Nicholas supported the arrested Christians and exhorted them to firmly endure torture, torment and prison bonds. Thanks to his deep faith and feat of prayer, the Lord preserved the saint unharmed and returned him to his flock.
In 325, Nicholas participated in the 1st Ecumenical Council. He, together with the holy fathers, condemned the teaching of Arius and his heresy, approved and taught the right teaching to everyone, and restored peace in the Holy Church. The Bishop and His Most Holy Mother praised the saint for his zeal for God.

Three military commanders arrived to observe the execution process. They did not even think that they would soon seek the intercession of Nicholas: they would be slandered, put in prison and doomed to death. The saint appeared in a dream vision to Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and called for the release of the innocently convicted, who in prison prayerfully called for the help of the saint.
Through the prayers of Nicholas, the city of Myra was saved from severe famine. More than once Nikola saved those drowning in the waters, brought them out of captivity and imprisonment in dungeons, delivered them from beatings with the sword, granted requested healings, enriched the needy, served food to the hungry, was an intercessor and helper to everyone who asked.

Send down reliable people from heaven.
Let it be so. Amen".
When a person is sure that luck has left him forever, he needs to ask Nikolai for help. He managed to save a huge number of people and never refused anyone.
Nikolai works wonders
Nicholas was born in Lycia. He the Wonderworker was born in Lycia. From childhood he was extremely interested in religion and sought to study it. The Lord gave the boy enormous power, with which he could control the elements, heal people and help those in need. Nicholas was the patron saint of all the unfortunate and disadvantaged.
At Christmas, Nikolai secretly put gifts for children from poor families to make them happy, but did not tell anyone about it. However, people soon learned about the good deeds of the Wonderworker and began to ask him for help. Even after death, the saint continues to help everyone and refuses no one.
We must definitely thank St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for the help provided. The prayer must be read correctly, in compliance with the laws of the clergy.
You should purchase an icon with the image of Nicholas, a cross, holy water, candles and prosphora. In the morning you should stand in front of the icon, eat the prosphora, wash it down and be baptized. In this case you need to say:
"For the healing of soul and body."
The prayer must be read every morning for 40 days. You cannot be distracted during the sacred action. After 40 days have passed, you need to say words of gratitude to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. If a person does not believe in the miraculous power of prayer, then nothing will work out for him, because Nikolai helps only those who believe in the Lord and speak sincerely.
