Town and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Nicholas of Studius, confessor and abbot, who lived in the ninth century. At that time, the emperor of Byzantium, Leo Armeninus, who continued iconoclasm, ruled.
Nicholas was repeatedly arrested and tortured, but despite this, the saint preached the teachings of Christ. As a result, God granted him the gift of healing.
