December 6th
Troparion (Tone 4)
Your works of justice showed you to your congregation a canon of faith, the likeness of humility, a teacher of abstinence, O Father, Bishop Nicholas. Wherefore, by humility you achieved exaltation, and by meekness, richness. Intercede, therefore, with Christ to save our souls.

Born in Asia Minor, St. Nicholas was favored by God with the power of miracles. He was a beloved Bishop in the Church. He used his inheritance to provide dowries for three sisters who were about to be sold into slavery due to their family's poverty. He is famous for his love for children and his name and reputation have been transformed by modern folklore into "Santa Claus." He is credited with several miraculous rescues of sailors at sea. He participated in the Council of Nicea in 325, until he was ejected for slapping the heretic Arius on the face. After a period of penance, he was restored to office. He clearly knew what was right and what was wrong. His ministry continues to this day as a powerful intercessor for the protection and advancement of the Church.

This pen & ink and gold leaf sketch in iconographic style was done by Kristen Chocheli of Perkasie, Pennsylvania, while her husband, Niko, was in a plane over the Atlantic Ocean to visit his homeland, the Republic of Georgia.
