About Saint Nikolaj. Nikolaj Velimirović was born on January 4, 1881, in Lelić, Serbia. He served as Bishop of Ohrid and later of Žiča, and he wrote widely on faith, history, and prayer, including "The Prologue of Ohrid," "The Faith of the Saints," and "The Life of Saint Sava."
In 1944 he was held at Dachau as a special prisoner. He later emigrated to the United States, and he reposed on March 18, 1956, in South Canaan, Pennsylvania. The Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church glorified him as a saint on May 24, 2003.
Choose this candle for a Serbian Orthodox family, a name day, a clergy gift, or anyone who values his writings and his witness under persecution.
