Most children know Santa Claus as a big, round, red-cheeked, joyous, old gen-tleman who delivers Christmas gifts clad in black boots and a red and white suit. But really, who is Santa Claus and where does Santa Claus come from?
The legend of Santa Claus dates all the way back to the 4th century when a child named Nicholas was born. At that time, nobody knew that he was to become world re-nowned as Santa Claus, but Nicholas soon showed signs of special abilities.
As a grown-up he became bishop of Myra in Lycia, a prov-ince of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey, where, ac-cording to legend, he only did good deeds.
One of the deeds later associated with Nicholas as Santa Claus or gift donor took place when he saved a family from poverty one night by throwing money through their window. But Nicholas was capable of much more than that. He could, by the power of God, bring the dead back to life and save sailors from storms. Therefore, Nicholas (later known as Santa Claus) was beatified and initially, was mostly honored by the sailors.
At first, Nicholas became a Catholic saint, but during the Reformation hagio-latry was abandoned by the Protestants. However, it was difficult to just drop St. Nicholas due to his popularity; thus, he
was portrayed without a bishop’s miter and was named Santa Claus. Coinciden-tally, Nicolas had died in December, thus, it was now easy to associate him as Santa Claus with Christmas and gift-giving.
That’s how St. Nicholas became known under the name Santa Claus in
Europe and later on, also in the USA. His story was
spread by the Dutch sailors berthing in New York. They called St. Nicholas “Sinterklaas”, and through translations
to American English, he became the American
“Santa Claus”.Today, Santa Claus is
famous all around the world as the kind, old man who
brings Christmas gifts to the children. Santa Claus has been widely used as
a commercial eye catcher, in particular after 1930, when Coca Cola used him in their advertisements for the first time. Here he had a big, white beard, black boots, a big red coat, and an infec-tious laughter - exactly like we know and love him today.
However, discussions about his origins continue. St. Nicholas came from Asia, but today he is associated with snow and Christmas; therefore, countries like Can-ada, Finland, Greenland, Norway, and Sweden are fighting for the right to house the old gift giver.

Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York’s Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcel-lus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps.
“DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. “Some of my little friends say there
is no Santa Claus. “Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE
SUN it’s so.’ “Please tell me the truth; is there a
Santa Claus?“VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
“115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.”
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelli-gence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christ-mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that nei-ther children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are un-seen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that cur-tain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will con-tinue to make glad the heart of child-hood.
Yes, Viriginia, there is a Santa Claus
