Saint Nicholas Day Poem

I dedicate this poem to Nick van Lieshout,


Saint Nicholas: A Blow For Christ

The evil soul of Arius
Arose to make his claim.
That Christ was not our God on High
And wasn’t flame from flame.

But some spoke out against the man,
Yes some who knew the truth.
‘Thanasius spoke with eloquence
And Nick punched out his tooth.

In Nicea: at the council
The heretic did stand.
But Santa, my dear Santa Claus,
He beat him with his hand.

The goodly Fathers in the crowd
They threw him into jail.
But Nick knew if he didn’t strike
He’d gnash his teeth and wail.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Came visiting next day.
And gave good Nick his Book again
Because our Saint would pray.

In Nicea: at the council
The heretic did stand.
But Santa, my dear Santa Claus,
He beat him with his hand.

So just remember boys and girls
If ever you hear tell,
Of Jesus being ridiculed
Then knock ‘em all the Hell.

For Nicholas, He was a man
Who held Christ in his hand.
And when our Jesus needed him
He stood and made a stand.

In Nicea: at the council
The heretic did stand.
But Santa, my dear Santa Claus,
He beat him with his hand.


This is actually a true story. Not many people know that Santa Clause attacked Arius at the Council of Nicea. Nicholas was actually removed as a Bishop and thrown into jail, but Christ came to him in a vision, and asked Nick why he did it, "Out of love for you Lord," was his response. So this is a fun little poem in Honor of Saint Nick the Ninja Bishop.
