Today is the beginning of big holidays. Today's holiday gives hope to children once again to believe in a miracle. St. Nicholas Day for each of us is remembered as a special day in childhood. We looked for gifts under the pillow, in shoes, closets, in the kitchen, under the bed. I want to share my story.🥰 Saint Nicholas Day is the day of memory of the Christian Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. In Ukraine, St. Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 19th. On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Nicholas. In Ukraine, on this day, parents put gifts under their pillows at night. Children traditionally believe that Saint Nicholas brought gifts because they were obedient all year.

Good afternoon, dear men.In this blog I would like to tell you about my Christmas miracle from my distant childhood.

Good afternoon, dear men.In this blog I would like to tell you why for me Christmas is not just a holiday, it is a day of good nostalgia for the past.

How important is the Christmas Atmosphere for you? have you already bought yourself a Christmas tree? What kind of Christmas tree will you have, natural or artificial?

Orthodox Christians around the world celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 19 and consider it not only a great religious holiday, but also one of the most beloved folk holidays. By tradition, it is customary to give gifts to relatives and friends, give alms, pray to the saint for health and ask for the fulfillment of cherished desires. So, this night, children receive gifts under their pillows and in their shoes, so they sincerely believe in the miracle performed by St. Nicholas and learn to be merciful. The miracle worker also takes care of warriors, sailors, drivers, travelers, students and merchants. On St. Nicholas Day, since the time of Kievan Rus-Ukraine, our ancestors honored the memory of the miracle worker and adhered to certain rules in order to increase wealth in the house, protect themselves from diseases and protect the soul from evil. The holiday itself came to us back in the 11th century during the time of Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich. In the modern world in English-speaking countries, the saint is identified with Santa Claus, who gives gifts to children at Christmas. Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is a historical figure, the bishop of the city of Peace in Asia Minor. The priest lived in the 3rd century and with his mercy earned a reward from God - the gift to work miracles. The Church glorifies St. Nicholas as a helper to all who find themselves in trouble and sorrow. Ancient manuscripts mention cases when, at death, people, after being applied to the relics, were healed literally on the same day. Nicholas the Wonderworker helped the drowning, freed the captives, saved the innocent from the death penalty, healed the sick, helped get rid of poverty and gave food to the hungry. As the legends say, Nikolai helped a poor girl who had no dowry get married - the saint threw a piece of gold through the window into her room.

We all had memories in childhood and I think that each of us cherishes them. Everything that concerns ourselves is very valuable.

Do you know how to cook? Do you think at least one person in the family should be able to cook? Or does a person know how to cook or not, it doesn't matter? Can you be won over by how your loved one cooks for you?

Children always look forward to St. Nicholas Day 2022 - it is on this date that they find sweet gifts under their pillows. This year, not only children, but also adults are waiting for a miracle - each of us wants the war to end as soon as possible. UNIAN spoke in detail about the main customs and prohibitions of the holiday, as well as signs and prayers.

Happy Saint Nicholas Day! May miracles happen more often in life, and you never lose faith in them! May there always be a festive mood. May your life be happy. I wish you good, joy, bright hopes, sincere love of relatives. May Saint Nicholas give you good health, prosperity, peace and warmth!

If you are far away from each other, it does not mean that your relationship is destined to end unhappily. Many couples have coped with distance and lived happily ever after! So why are you worse? Now I will try to explain my attitude and position regarding long distance relationships!

The Christmas Eve is a symbolic holiday when Ukrainians cook 12 special festive dishes. It should be noted that Christmas Eve falls on the last day of the Christmas Fast, so all meals must be lean.

Loneliness is a common human emotion that is difficult to define, but generally speaking, refers to a feeling of disconnectedness and isolation as a consequence of having limited or no social interactions. It’s not the same as being alone, as many people enjoy solitude, and is associated more with a person’s deteriorating physical and mental health as a consequence of social isolation.

My conclusions of this year

Christmas atmosphere is not here this year

Is it worth celebrating the New Year during the war?

Human memory is inextricably linked with the brain and thought processes

Sport in your life!Yes or no?

Perhaps, one quiet day on the Internet / from acquaintances, you came across the word “burnout” (where it hasn’t been shoved yet). Perhaps you came to a psychologist, and he: "Father, yes, you have it."

Snow falls! Snow falls and large flakes fall on the trees, houses. And the most daring fall on the face, eyelashes.
