Dionisy's frescoes. Saint Nicholas Saves Enfant Demetrius from Saint Nicholas Saves Enfant Demetrius from Drowning

A posthumous miracle of the saint. Demetrius, a righteous citizen of Constantinople used to go to pray to St. Nicholas to the city of Anfirit. Once he went to sea in a small boat at night so that to be on time for the morning service. The storm overturned Demetrius’ light boat and the exhausted man started drowning still calling Nicholas for help. Then the saint appeared among the waves, offered his hand and pulled him out of the deep.
