Two holidays are dedicated to St. Nicholas at once – in winter and in spring. In May, he is celebrated on the day of the transfer of his remains from the Lycian World to Bari.

On Monday, May 22, 2023, believers honored an important event in the church calendar – the transfer of the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Bari from Lycian Myra.

history of the holiday

Saint Nicholas was born in the year 270 in a Greek colony in Asia Minor to a Christian family. Nikolay gained the fame of having no money, helping ordinary people in any way he could.

He died about 342. The day of the death of St. Nicholas is celebrated as St. Nicholas Day every year on December 6 (churches using the Julian calendar celebrate this holiday on December 19).

Church manuscripts mention cases when, after death, people recovered literally the same day after being attached to the remains. The saint helped the drowned, freed the captives, saved the innocent from the death penalty, healed the sick: he restored sight, hearing, and deprived him of lameness. He helped remove poverty, gave food to the hungry, became a helper and patron. He quickly showed up where help was needed.

So Nicholas the Wonderworker is remembered not only on August 11, but also on December 19, when he died, and on this day every person can find a gift “from Nicholas” under his pillow . He was also mentioned on May 22, when the remains of the saint were transferred to the city of Bari. Therefore, another name for this day appeared among the people – the elderly or spring Nicholas.
