Saint Nicholas was born in the 3rd century AD in Patara, Lycia, of pious and wealthy parents and was active during the reigns of the emperors Diocletian (284 – 304 AD), Maximian (286 – 305 AD) and Constantine the Great.

At a young age he was left an orphan and heir to a large fortune. But Nicholas, inspired by philanthropic feelings, disposed of his property to relieve the needy, orphans, the poor, widows, and distressed heads of families. One would even corrupt his three daughters in order to secure money. When Nicholas learned of this, secretly in three nights he secured the dowry of the three girls, leaving 100 gold coins to each of them. Thus, the three daughters were restored and spared from certain corruption.

He then dedicated himself to the ascetic life, but because of his special virtue he was honoured, without seeking it, initially with the office of Priest in Patara and then with the office of Archbishop of Myra. From this position he guided his flock with love and confessed the truth with sincerity. For this reason he was arrested by the local rulers and thrown into prison.

But when Constantine the Great ascended to the imperial throne, all Christians were freed and so Nicholas was restored to the archbishop’s throne. He even took part in the First Ecumenical Council, where he stood out for his wisdom and moral perfection.

Saint Nicholas was also endowed with the gift of miraculous powers, with which he saved many people both during his lifetime and after his death in 330 AD. For example, when once someone was in danger at sea – due to strong winds – and invoked the name of the saint, he was saved and even while in the middle of the sea he was found unharmed in his house. The miracle was immediately known in Istanbul and the people immediately came to a litany and vigil in order to honor the miraculous Saint.
