The second famous miracle was the rescue of three girls from fornication. The miracle worker brought the necessary amount to pay the debts of the father, who wanted to give his daughters into slavery. He left money on the windowsill at night and went unnoticed. This is the memory of the fact that he gave alms at night, with which traditions are connected on St. Nicholas Day.
     It didn’t matter to St. Nicholas who the man was, who asked him for protection, he helped everyone, for which he was considered an intercessor of the human race.

He got another name “novice novice” because he soon answers the prayer and comes to the aid of those who ask soon. Therefore, the icon of St. Nicholas is a talisman for everyone who experiences difficult days or asks for protection.
