During the Soviet era a soldier would ask his mother to talk to Djada Kolja (Uncle Kolja). Kolja is a nickname for Nicolai, Nicolas. In this way he ask the Saint and his mother to pray for him.
Wow, I didn't know that, how touching. The believing Russian soldier, I imagine, fearing the censorship from communist army superiors reading letters and tapping phone calls, would ask his mother in a letter or a call home to "talk to uncle (Ni)kolya for him", aka to pray to Saint Nicholas fir him. ❤💌☦️
i read from some guy on reddit that the Greek word used for "slap" in the 1370 account, meant closer to slapping in a way as to slap them back in to their senses. if that were so it'd seem the combination of both his love for God and his love for the man resulted in a solid slap to the face. noice
Just to be fair: at the time of st Nikolaus theire was no orthodox church like the one today. At this time it was just the church and the whole departing came after this. I think I red somewear that to show that the early church was not in comunion with the gnostics etc. they first called themself the catholic church and around the year 1000 was the great schizma which parted the catholic from the orthodox church. If I made a mistake please correct me 😊😅. You all have a blessed day ❤
In your wall art section on your website you have a big Arabic text one that's for the Theotokos, could i ask what it actually says translated to english? Many thanks :)
@@voxlknight2155I have the same problem. Also, sometimes, someone writes something in reply to a comment I made, in Arabic letters, and there's too often no English translation. And you can't even copy paste another person's comment, to put it in Google translate. So you don't know if they mentioned your mother, or their praised you. So annoying.
It’s a poem so it sounds nicer in arabic but it says: “I praise the Virgin I talk of her and say You are the origin of origins Oh you essence (or diamond) of existence”
Saint Nicolaus, Saint Niclaus, Santa Claus. It's how little children pronounced "Saint Nicholas" in English speaking countries. It's a shame people forgot the Christian origins of Santa.🎅 And, yes, he was a Christian Orthodox bishop, from what was for millenia Greece, and only became a part of Turkey in the 13th century AD because of the aggressive Islamic invasion on behalf of the Turks. The long red hat and the long red robe were and still are the typical garments of christian bishops.
Hello, if anyone could help me please. I have been interested in Orthodoxy for a very long time now but have never taken the next step because i’ve believed that i have to be of certain race to practice this beautiful religion. Is this true? I am a American of Hispanic descent. Thank you
You do not need to be of any certain ethnicity to be an orthodox Christian! Christ accepts all who look and desire to follow him. When you see Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Antiochian, etc. in the church’s title, it is only a reference to the jurisdiction it belongs to. I attend a Greek Orthodox Church and do not have a drop of Greek in me but I was fully accepted as a member and brother of the Faith. Going forward, please contact the closest Orthodox Church near you and get in contact with the priest. Hell help you out with everything much better than any of us! God bless!
St. Nicholas pray for us to be as fervent in our love for Christ as you were! 🙏❤️
I am a Orthodox from America 🇺🇸☦️
I love orthodox Christianity so much , it has brought me to god ever more closer each day and care for others and animals just I have been thought
My patron saint! His day is on the same day as my birthday! Saint Nicholas pray for us!
Thank you for doing my patron saint, an anonymous philanthropist so the glory goes to God ☦️
sounds like the Narrator that used to do all of those ridiculous reality-type shows on History channel has finally found his calling to repentance!
Definitely the kind of a story that is worthy of being on the screens of the cinemas.
Anthony would have been so proud if he learned about Nicolas. Anthony disliked Arius too

How lovely! And he's my little brother's patron saint too! ☦️❤ Can we get my patron, St. Alexios the Man of God, next?
Конечно же можете. Святые православной церкви молят господа о нас грешных!
@@Coyietes Нет, я имею в виду, сможет ли он снять видео о Святом Алексиосе.

he bashed the man's face out of his love for Christ or out of his love for the man's soul, I wonder

Try using google translate

Hey, this is not true at all - many Parishes here in America are converts from different ethnicities.

@@benpeters3620 God bless, thank you immensely for the reply. I will contact my nearest church this week.
We are all human, we are all born in the image of god. God accepts all.
