O who loves Nicholas the saintly,
O who serves Nicholas the saintly,
Him will Nicholas receive,
And give help in time of need:
Holy Father Nicholas!
He who dwells in God's holy mansions,
Is our help on the land and oceans,
He will guard us from all ills,
Keep us pure and free from sins
Holy Father Nicholas!
Holy Saint, hearken to our prayer,
Let not life drive us to despair,
All our efforts shall not wane,
Singing praises to your name:
Holy Father Nicholas!
Those flowers are breathtaking around the icon of St. Nicholas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful St. Nicholas day! Vigils are long here, we were at the monastery for 3 hours (only part of Vigil) and Liturgy on Monday was lovely, one seminarian ordained a reader during the service.
ReplyDelete❤ I hope you enjoy the time with family!
Hope you are doing well. Wishing you all the best as we go into 2023. :)
