During the reign of Emperor Alexius Comnenus and Patriarch Nicholas Grammaticus, the body of this saint was transferred from Myra of Lycia to Bari, Italy. This was done because Muslims had invaded Lycia. Previously, the saint appeared in a dream to a priest in Bari and ordered him to transfer his relics to that city. At that time, Bari was an Orthodox city, under an Orthodox patriarch. During the transfer of the relics of Saint Nicholas, many miracles occurred, both from touching the relics and from the peace that flowed abundantly from them, and they still occur today. On this day, the miracle is also remembered when Saint Nicholas restored sight to the blind Serbian king Stefan Decanski. The transfer of the relics of Saint Nicholas of Myra of Lycia took place in 1087.
