Icon of Saint Nicholas: Father of Beit Jala

Description
-
This is a digital reproduction of an icon depicting Saint Nicholas as the Father of Beit Jala, surrounded by miracles he made from his time through centuries until recent times, at St. Nicholas Church, Beit Jala, a short distance from Bethlehem. In some ways, this is not a canonical icon, but nevertheless it is a liturgical expression of the living faith held deeply by local Christians in Beit Jala. It is located at the east side of the east-south column of the church nave. The size is 80 X 63 cm. The Arabic inscription reads: "Father of Beit Jala, Saint Nicholas, the wondermaker"
