The Saints of God

The Saints of God is a poem written by Agatha Christie. It was published in the book Star Over Bethlehem and other stories.

It is a short poem of four stanzas each of four lines with an ABAB rhyme scheme and a dynamic bouncy rhythm. This is appropriate as it describes a number of Saints in heaven "marching down the hill" and coming back to Earth to continue serving mankind and show them the path to heaven. The theme of this poem is related to the short story Promotion in the Highest which comes just before it. The Saints mentioned in the poem are also mentioned in the story.
