The Orthodox Church celebrates Nicholas Day today

The Orthodox Church celebrates Nicholas Day today. In connection with the holiday, services and prayers are held in the temples. The head of the Patriarch will hold a service at the Trinity Cathedral at 10:00. St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker is considered the patron of the Georgian Orthodox Church after the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia begged the saint to join the Georgian Church. Many temples have been built in his name in Georgia. The Orthodox Church celebrates the commemoration of St. Nicholas twice a year - on December 19, the day of his death, and on May 22, when his relics were transferred from Myron to Bar.
