St. Nicholas the New of Vounenis (Feast Day - May 9)

Verses

O Nicholas you received a double crown,
As a Venerable and Athlete of the Lord.

The Holy Venerable Martyr Nicholas was from the East, and was born to noble and godly parents. From the beginning the praiseworthy Nicholas turned away from conversing with youths of his own age, and loved to be around older and sensible people. When he was of a mature age, he entered the royal army, being very manly physically. In no time he did so many manly good things in battles, that he became known and famous to all. For this reason the emperor of the Romans during that time, hearing of the fame of the Saint, called for him and he went to the palace. Seeing that he was eloquent, and his works and actions were suitable, he made him duke of an eparchy, giving him soldiers to be subject to him.
