Oh! St Nicholas, revered saint of Serbia, Thou art beloved by many families in this land. On the 19th day of December or 6th in Julian calendar, Thy feast is celebrated with great joy and grandeur. Thou art seen as a gift bringer, who fills hearts with cheer. Before WWII kids were given presents on thy day so dear. But there is more to thee than meets the eye, for thou art kind and just. A protector of children and those in need, who will never rust. Though some may see thee as a jolly old man with white beard so long, In truth thy spirit brings hope and peace to all whom it doth throng. So let us remember St Nicholas on his special day each year; Let us honour him with gifts and prayers that bring forth good cheer!
