Iconography and Symbolism
The St Nicholas of Myra Icon (Greek: Ἅγιος Νικόλαος ὁ Μυριώτης) portrays one of the most beloved and widely venerated saints in the Christian world. As Bishop of Myra in Lycia during the 4th century, St Nicholas became known for his compassion, generosity, and miracles of protection. He defended the innocent, provided for the poor, and secretly helped those in need.

In this icon, St Nicholas is shown as a gentle yet firm bishop, holding the Gospel and blessing with his right hand. The gold background reflects his holiness and the uncreated light of God. He is the patron saint of sailors, travelers, and children — a symbol of faith, kindness, and divine guidance.

Feast Day
