One, among the many, called this Nicola the protector of children because it was said that he resurrected three children who had been cut to pieces and pickled by a wicked innkeeper!
Vienā no tām Nikolajs tiek saukts par bērnu aizstāvi, jo viņš esot atdzīvinājis trīs bērnus, ko ļauns krodzinieks sacirtis gabalos un iesālījis.
