The man we know as Santa Claus has a history all his own. Today, he is thought of mainly as the jolly man in red, but his story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century. The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 . in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness and is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. It is Nast who gave Santa his bright red suit trimmed with white fur, North Pole workshop, elves, and his wife, Mrs. Claus.

The name Santa Claus was derived from the Dutch word Sinterklaas which is a pronunciation of ‘Saint Nicholas’. Saint Nicholas was a wealthy man and a devout Christian who used his entire inheritance to help the needy and the poor. For his generous and selfless service to God and humanity he was made the Bishop of Myra. This led to the custom of children hanging stockings or putting out shoes, eagerly awaiting gifts from Saint Nicholas. This tradition was passed on through the generations and is practiced by kids even today

When did Santa Claus begin? We all know that only God is eternal. So how did this wonderful Christmas character who is so giving begin? We didn't make him up. Saint Nicholas, whose name was changed over the years to Santa Claus, was a real person, a bishop in the church in the fourth century. Saint Nicholas was born in Patara (Asia Minor) and later moved to Myra (Demre in modern Turkey), where he was elected bishop. As Allan Hauck wrote in Calendar of Christianity, If Santa Claus has become too commercial, too secularized, perhaps it is "because we have forgotten his historical origin in the beloved Bishop of Myra who obeyed Christ's command that we help all those who are in need.

Santa Claus is the modern derivative of St. Nicholas, who was a good man who brought gifts to poor children. His spirit lives on in the celebration of Santa Claus. Rumor has it that the modern day version of the Santa Claus image was a marketing ploy by Coca Cola (whose colors are red and white).
