Almighty God, who in thy love didst give to thy servant Nicholas of Myra a perpetual name for deeds of kindness on land and sea: Grant, we pray thee, that thy Church may never cease to work for the happiness of children, the safety of sailors, the relief of the poor, and the help of those tossed by tempests of doubt or grief; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today's the feast of St Nicholas, a 3rd Century Bishop of Myra. His popular legends include bringing three boys back to life who had been killed by a publican and placed in a barrel, as here in collected 16th Century continental glass at Erpingham, Norfolk. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/bJhCiP55bB
