Miracles of St. Nicholas today
I did not give a bribe ...
Three years ago, they wanted to expel my daughter from a college of music for complete failure. However, the real reason for the expulsion was different: I did not want to give a bribe to the teacher. At that time I was in the hospital, and my upset child came there so that I would give her a blessing to pass the exam before the special commission.
Exam results were known in advance; he was called - "funeral." I blessed my daughter and began to pray to St. Nicholas for a miracle. And my prayer was heard: after a while my daughter returned joyful, with the “four” for the exam. It turned out this way: the teacher, deprived and burning with a thirst for revenge, could not be a member of the commission - just before the exam she had taps in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Other examiners listened to the girl’s game impartially and rated her well. Now my daughter has successfully graduated from the College of Music and Education.
The second case occurred relatively recently - in the spring of 2003. Just before the Nikolsky holiday, a large stone was found in my left kidney, and I ended up in the hospital. On the eve of the holiday, at the all-night service in the hospital church, I asked St. Nicholas to do a miracle — to free me from this dangerous stone without an operation. And the miracle did not slow down. On the morning of the holiday, first an ultrasound scan, and then an X-ray showed that there was no kidney stone anymore, and I was discharged home.
