Description
Exhibited 19th C. Russian Icon, "Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker of Myra". Tempera/wood. Nicholas was born to wealthy parents in the 3rd century AD. He was taken to his uncle for religious instruction and later became a monk. When his parents died, he gave all his inheritance to the poor. Because of his charitable and spiritual life, Nicholas was made bishop of Myra in Asia Minor. He is said to have been a defender of the faith and of the Trinity doctrine at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD.
For his Trinitarian position he was stripped of his bishop's stole and Gospels and was imprisoned. It is said that Christ restored the Gospels to him, and Mary presented him with a bishop's stole (omofor). Christ and Mary are seen in this icon at the upper left and right.
