St. Nicholas of Myra is one of the best-known and most popular saints of the Christian Church. It is from the stories of this early Christian Bishop that the modern figure of Fr. Christmas has been derived. This work contains all the liturgical texts specifically for the Feast day of St. Nicholas on December 6, as used by the Orthodox Church. There is also a devotional hymn in his honor and an extended prayer asking for his help. A short life is also included followed by an account of some of the miracles worked through the prayers of the saint after his death.

Young, lonely, and insecure, Alice Fletcher is on the verge of emotional collapse when she stumbles into St. Benet's Church to dodge the London drizzle. There, she witnesses a group of gifted healers led by the charismatic Nicholas Darrow. Gaining refuge at last, Alice is drawn--inexorably, seductively--into the complex network of relationships at St. Benet's healing center--as she falls immediately, dangerously, in love with Darrow himself. Yet Darrow and his cutting-edge clergy are not all what they seem. And while Nicholas's dazzling powers now threaten to ruin all he attempts to save--including his own disturbed marriage--Alice's devotion to him deepens. Then a devastating tragedy transports her to the shocking center of truth. Yet fueled by her love for Nicholas and a boldly emerging intuition, she will hold together the lives spinning wildly out of control--as she herself is transformed forever.
