On December 19 and May 22, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Nicholmas – the holiday of St Nicholas of Myra, The Wonderworker. St Nicholas has always been the most revered saint in Russia. Thousands of Russian churches bear his name.

Here is the list of a few – just a few! – Moscow churches dedicated to St Nicholas, some of them centuries old and some, brand-new. If you happen to be in Moscow on December 19 or May 22, you can use this opportunity to celebrate his day with the Russians.

Church of St Nicholas in Pyzhi

The first wooden building of this church was erected about 1593. In 1812, it was vandalized by Napoleon's troops, and the current stone church was then constructed in its place. In 1934, the building was confiscated by the Soviets and handed over to various businesses. Returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1990.
