Fig. 97: The Moment of St. Nicholas Rescuing 3 Innocents from
Death. Ilya Repin 1888.
Nicholas, who always helped people in his life and adopted
this as a life style rather than being religious, died in Myra on
December 6, 343. However, he adopted such a modest life that
after his death, he preferred to be buried in the martyrs’ cemetery
instead of in the episcopal cemetery.
