Saint Nicholas Iconography - Traditional Orthodox Depiction #1889011 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts Saint Nicholas of Myra in classic Byzantine iconographic style, wearing ornate episcopal vestments with crosses, holding a closed gospel book in one hand and raising the other in benediction. His balding head, beard, and solemn expression reflect veneration and authority, while the Greek inscription “Sfântul Nicolae” identifies him as the beloved saint of children, sailors, and gift-giving. The halo signifies his sainthood and divine grace.
