St. Nicholas Church-Lighthouse in Malorichenske began building in January 2004 and on 15 May 2007 it was officially opened. Beautiful St. Nicholas Church-Lighthouse is sixty meters tall, stands on the 50 meters cliff above Black Sea and decorated with wonderful frescoes and mosaics.
The main icon of St. Nicholas Church-Lighthouse is very unusual and has no analogues in the world. This icon of St. Nicholas has knitted knots - no silver or gold as in most of the major icons in Orthodox churches. This icon consisting of half a million knots created by Simferopol actor. He was almost completely paralyzed when doctors advised him to develop hands by knitting. When he made knitted knots for the icon (it took a year and a half to finish the work) almost completely healed. Personally he believed that he was healed by St. Nicholas.
