Saint Nicholas
Frequently depicted in icons and manuscript illuminations, less in fresco, St. Nicholas is represented frontally, either standing, bust or seated, as an elderly man with a full white beard, as well as his hair around a balding head. Usually he is dressed like an Orthodox bishop, wearing the omophorion and, sometimes a mitre. Moreover than not, he is holding a Gospel Book in his left hand while he is blessing with the right hand.
