I thought he left the beating to Black Peter?

That's the legend.

The real Saint Nicholas beat up arch heretic Arius in 325 AD. Apparently Arius couldn't stop talking bad about the Virgin Mary so Saint Nick opened a can of whoop a$$ on him.

Now that restores my sense of balance in the Universe. I'll be sure to include that tidbit when I pass the legend on to my daughter... ;-)
