Description from the seller

St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Spiridon.

Saint Spyridon, Bishop of Trimituntski Miracle Worker is one of the great saints and miracle workers, together with St. Nicholas.
Saint Spyridon is seen as the patron saint of craftsmen from various professions, including: shoemakers, bricklayers, potters, coppersmiths, tailors, abadjis and builders. He is also considered the patron saint of horses and cattle.

St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was an Eastern Roman clergyman, archbishop of the city of Myra. Known as an opponent of paganism and Arianism.
Throughout his life, Nicholas helped the suffering, protected the innocent and strengthened the weak with the word of truth and faith.
In Italy, but also in Russia, it is popular to carve wooden figures depicting Nicholas of Myrlic, of various sizes, including hand-portable ones, but mostly large sculptures intended for journeys and processions carried out on foot (with special litters carried with a joint effort by a large number of pilgrims) or by various means of transport – usually boats or carts.
