Delivered from the storm, Nicholas raises a fellow sailor, and the Holy Land

The merriment of the deliverance from the storm and their comfort, however, was dampened by grief over a fellow sailor’s death. As Nicholas prayed over the dead sailor, he was revived, “as if he had only been asleep.” The man awakened without pain and the ship finished the journey to the Holy Land. Nicholas then embarked on his pilgrimage to the holy places, walking where Jesus had walked. One night he wanted to pray at the only church remaining at the time in Jerusalem, the Church of the Room of the Last Supper on Mount Zion.* As he approached the heavy, locked doors, they swung open of their own accord, allowing him to enter the church. Nicholas fell to the ground in thanksgiving. Before returning to Lycia, he visited the Holy Sepulchre, Golgotha, Bethlehem, and many other holy sites.
