Description

Saint Nicholas was born in the third century in the city of Patara. His wealthy Christian parents died when he was young, and he gave his inheritance to the poor. Devoting himself to the Church, Nicholas was eventually ordained Bishop of Myra. 

In this position of responsibility, St. Nicholas proved himself to be extremely kind and generous. He is known today for using whatever resources he had to aid people in need, though during his life he was careful to keep his identity a secret. One of the most famous stories of his generosity tells of his tossing three bags of gold through the window of a poor man with three daughters. Nicholas gave enough to pay for the marriages of all three girls. 

In his public life, Nicholas lived through the reign of the anti-Christian emperor Diocletian. Nicholas was imprisoned for his faith, but survived and was eventually released. 

He attended the Council of Nicaea in the year 325, also called the First Ecumenical Council, where the Nicene Creed was drafted. There he famously stood against the heretic Arius, who taught that Jesus was a created being.

St. Nicholas is called “Wonderworker” for his many miracles. By his prayers and actions, famines were lifted, prisoners were set free, and diseases were healed.

At an old age, St. Nicholas died a natural death. He is commemorated on December 6. 

In this icon, St. Nicholas appears in his bishop’s vestments. He gives a blessing with one hand, and with the other holds an open book that reads “To this man the gatekeeper opens and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them forth.” This is a passage from the Book of John, where Jesus describes how He is the way to salvation. 

This icon was painted by Fr. Theodore Koufos.

    St. NIcholas Koufos Icon

    Posted by L. Luzier on Dec 7th 2022

    I have this icon with the curved top not squared and it is beautiful! I love Fr. Koufos's icons. Please bring these back with the curved top as an option as well. It is a thick, heavy duty icon and very sturdy.

    Well received

    Posted by Andrea on Nov 8th 2019

    This was a gift for a sibling. They LOVED it. The only thing that would have been helpful in the description is the finished thickness of icon. This, because we plan to have it sitting on table/mantle for our slava celebration. Overall, I would recommend to others for this shopping experience.
