Oh, all-good Father Nicholas, shepherd and teacher of all who flow by faith to your intercession, and who call on you with warm prayer, quickly strive and deliver the flock of Christ from the wolves that destroy it, that is, from the invasion of the evil Latins who are rising against us.
Protect and preserve our country, and every country existing in Orthodoxy, with your holy prayers from worldly rebellion, the sword, the invasion of foreigners, from internecine and bloody warfare. And just as you had mercy on three men imprisoned, and you delivered them from the king’s wrath and the beating of the sword, so have mercy and delivered the Orthodox people of Great, Little and White Rus' from the destructive heresy of the Latin. For through your intercession and help, and through His mercy and grace, may Christ God look with His merciful eye on people who exist in ignorance, even though they have not known their right hand, especially young people, by whom the Latin seductions are spoken to turn away from the Orthodox faith, may he enlighten the minds of His people, may they not be tempted and fall away from the faith of their fathers, may their conscience, lulled by vain wisdom and ignorance, awaken and turn their will to the preservation of the holy Orthodox faith, may they remember the faith and humility of our fathers, may their life be for the Orthodox faith who have laid down and accepted the warm prayers of His holy saints, who have shone in our land, keeping us from the delusion and heresy of the Latin, so that, having preserved us in holy Orthodoxy, He will grant us at His terrible Judgment to stand on the right hand with all the saints. Amen
The miraculous life of the saint
Nicholas, a Greek by birth, was born into a wealthy family, where his parents were known as God-fearing people. They had no children for a long time and in old age, having made a vow to devote the child to serving the Lord, the future mother Nonna became pregnant and soon gave birth to a son.
Read about the saint:
From that time on, she became barren, which meant that she could no longer have another son like Nicholas - the conqueror of nations. He was supposed to be the first and the last.
His chosenness of God was noticeable to those around him from birth. During the Sacrament of Baptism, the baby stood on his feet on his own without anyone's support for three hours. On fasting days - Wednesday and Friday - the baby refused to accept mother's milk. Having matured a little, the boy spent whole days in the temple of God.
After the death of his parents, Nikolai inherited a large inheritance, which he donated to charity. And the future saint himself decided to devote the rest of his life to desert solitude, prayer and communication with God. But the wish was not destined to come true: the Heavenly Voice directed Nicholas to return to the city, serve the people and bring the Word of God to the world.
Returning to his homeland, Nicholas began to help his uncle, the Bishop of Patara. He was respected and loved by his flock; people were amazed at the wisdom of the “young old man.” His sincere sermons pierced people's hearts with God's Light.
One day, while traveling to the Holy Land on a ship, a terrible disaster raged. It seemed that there was no chance of escape. But Nikolai Ugodnik prayed to the Almighty and the strong sea storm subsided, the ship was not damaged, and the crew and passengers were saved. A young man who fell from a high mast and fell to his death was revived by the young Wonderworker.
Before God's chosen one in Jerusalem, the doors of a locked church opened of their own accord.
Soon Bishop John of Myra of Lycia died. Nicholas was chosen as his successor, but this event was preceded by a miracle. The Council of Bishops could not decide on the candidacy of the future primate. But on the night before the Council, the Most Pure Virgin Mary appeared to the presiding officer in a dream and indicated the name of God’s chosen bishop. The Mother of God appeared to Nicholas himself along with her Son. They placed an omophorion on him and handed him the Holy Gospel - a symbol of episcopal power.
A similar thing happened to the Wonderworker again. During the 1st Ecumenical Council, the saint exposed the teachings of the evil Arius and his heresy, for which he was defrocked and imprisoned. And again the Virgin Mary and her Son brought justice: They appeared in the cell and presented the prisoner with an omophorion and the Gospel. This phenomenon happened in a dream vision to several members of the Council, and the next morning they hurried to the arrested man. Seeing in reality what was revealed to them in a dream, the accusers freed Nicholas from prison and reinstated him in his rank.
In old age, when the saint was more than 70 years old, he completed his earthly life. The transition to eternal life was accompanied by the reading of psalms and great joy. The saint departed to the Lord, accompanied by Angels, and was met in Heaven by many saints.
Many people attended the burial ceremony. The honest body was laid in the local cathedral. Miracles happened at the relics of Nicholas, those who asked received what they wanted, and the sick were healed from the fragrant healing world that exuded the mortal relics of the saint.
How to pray before the face of the Holy Saint for help in trading
Trading is about making a profit. When turning to the saint about good luck in trading, you should not think only about the income received.
You can pray in your own words or read standard texts from the prayer book.
The main thing is that the saint must feel the strong faith of the person praying and the request coming from the depths of his heart.
- if things in business are not going the way you wanted, and problems arise, you should under no circumstances become discouraged;
- You should always help those in need: give alms to the poor, donate to the temple, help shelters, do charity work, feed homeless animals;
- the product sold must be of high quality, useful and durable;
- after receiving the requested help, one must not forget about the words of gratitude to God, Nicholas the Wonderworker and the holy helpers.
These simple tips will help you achieve the desired heights in trade and business!
- At the very beginning of starting your own business, it is recommended to order a prayer service for success in any good endeavor.
- It is necessary to approach the priest with the palms of your hands folded crosswise (the right hand should lie on the left) and ask him for a blessing (permission, parting words). If the cleric blesses a good deed and places his hand on the palm of the person asking, then it should be kissed. If the priest blesses you with a cross, then you need to venerate the cross with your lips.
- If an entrepreneur opens a new store, office, factory, warehouse, etc., then a priest should be invited to bless the premises. The small crosses that the priest draws on the walls cannot be washed off.
- There must be icons hanging in the room. For example, the faces of saints should hang, protecting the premises from fire, from theft, from evil people and sorcerers, for help in travel, trade and business. In short, the chosen icon must correspond to the profile of the enterprise.
- If a difficult situation arises in business, then you should rush to church and order a prayer service to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The water received from the prayer service should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also sprinkle the goods with it so that it sells quickly and does not spoil.
- There have always been many envious people in business matters. If you feel like you are being envied, jinxed or damaged, then urgently start reading the prayer “May God rise again.”

Trading conspiracies to profitably sell a house, apartment or car
We've all had situations where we experienced difficulties related to trading. It often happens that a bad period comes and our business suffers from the lack of clients.
Buyers simply do not come to us, and stubbornly buy similar products from competitors, bypassing our store or outlet.
Or it happens that you urgently need to sell a property or a car, but there are no buyers, and the matter does not move for a long time. All this happens because your business could be jinxed by envious people and ill-wishers.
To prevent this from happening, you can attract success in business and collect good revenue with the help of ancient conspiracies.
CONSPIRACY for the quick sale of an apartment or car
For this ritual, you need to take a few grains of wheat and place them early in the morning near the threshold of the house you are selling or near the car that you want to sell soon.

After this, you need to collect the grains and bury them next to the object of sale, and in a few days the transaction will take place.
Another conspiracy to sell and protect real estate
This ritual must be used at least ten days before the upcoming transaction. He suggests turning for help to the ancient patron of the house - the brownie. To perform the ceremony, you need to stand in the middle of the room in the house you want to sell and quietly whisper to yourself:
Old house-elf, you are mighty and great, help me sell my house, find rich and good clients and buyers! True.
Then you need to spit over your left shoulder three times, quietly leave and close the doors.

The Wonderworker Nicholas is one of the most famous and revered Saints in Orthodoxy. People very often pray to him and ask for help in a variety of life situations. All those asking for help note that the Saint responds to their prayers very often and quickly.
What do they pray to the saint for?
People who have problems in business read a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help in trading. Sometimes it happens that luck turns away from a person and everything does not go as it should be. The Saint very often hears the requests of people who ask for luck - they receive it.
During his lifetime, Nicholas the Wonderworker became famous as the pacifier of people who were at enmity. He is the patron saint of all who have been wrongfully convicted.
The girls ask him for a prosperous and happy marriage. There is no specific list of things to do when it is necessary to pray to the Saint. You just need to believe, be a good person and, if necessary, ask for help from higher powers.
How does St. Nicholas the Wonderworker help?
The icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is often approached by people who ask for help, feeling an acute lack of money. Prayer to this saint is considered one of the most powerful and effective.
People often ask for help in the following situations:
- there is no profit and trade, a person’s business is practically collapsed;
- to avoid bankruptcy;
- read prayers for successful trading;
- so that luck comes, vitality returns.
For prayer to be heard, it is extremely important to conduct your affairs honestly; even the slightest deception is not allowed. And only in this case can you count on help from above. Nicholas the Wonderworker certainly rewards all people who, with faith in their hearts, ask him for help.
However, it is worth remembering that prayer is not just a set of words that is necessary only for one’s own benefit. If things are going well, asking for even more material benefits is a sin. Before reading the prayer, it is very good to give alms to the beggar.
Who is Nicholas the Wonderworker
From the very first days, indescribable miracles happened around Nicholas. His mother had a serious illness, which suddenly disappeared after giving birth. During the baptism ceremony, the baby stood on his own for several hours without anyone helping him.
From early childhood, the Saint studied the Divine Scripture; he devoted his entire childhood to this matter. When he got a little older, as a young man, he became a priest. Everyone noted his development, which was incomparable with his age; believers treated him with great respect and admiration.
Nikolai spent all his strength on prayers and work. All those who came to him for help did not know refusal; he helped with everything he could. He sacrificed everything he had for the sake of others. But he never advertised his good deeds and tried to help people secretly. The list of his good deeds is almost endless.
One day, the Wonderworker threw money into the house of a man, who was completely ruined and in debt. He needed money so much that he was completely desperate and was ready to give his own daughters to harlots. After this good deed by Nicholas, the man’s family was saved from a terrible fate.
When Nicholas was making a trip to the Holy Land, he saw the devil himself entering the ship. This vision was interpreted by him as a terrible storm approaching, then the travelers asked the Wonderworker to pray for them and calm the sea. So, the ship sailed calmly to its destination, a large number of people were saved. Thanks to prayer, the sailor who was killed by falling from the mast of the ship was also resurrected.
Once he saved men from the death penalty. They were mistakenly sentenced to death, Nikolai stopped the executioner, thereby giving them life. He repeatedly saved people from poverty, torture, terrible hunger and death.
When mass persecution of Christians occurred, they were imprisoned. Nikolai, of course, was also convicted and was forced to live in monstrous conditions. But his faith was unshakable; even while in prison, he did good deeds. The Wonderworker supported other prisoners and gave them strength to stay in prison. But the Lord did everything so that Nikolai would be released without receiving serious damage.
A pure heart and great faith helped the Saint fight poverty, help those in need, and eradicate human evil. He constantly, throughout his life, actively fought against poverty, which is why he is considered the patron saint of all the poor, who helps in difficult times. They say that Nicholas radiated light in the darkness.
