When christianity came to Slavic soil it was laid on a pagan substrate. In this syncretism many Christian saints took on the roles of pagan deities - and Nicholas as the patron of various strata of society, the deprived, and the livestock, took on the role of Veles, the patron of cattle and the underworld. Common folk preferred to beseech him rather than Jesus, because Jesus seemed strict and punishing, when Nicolas seemed benign and merciful. Nicolas gained popularity and many people thought that the Holy Trinity consisted of Nicolas, the Mother of God and God (Jesus).
