History

Santa Claus has various origin stories that differ around the world, though most agree that the modern Santa Claus of North America has adopted characteristics of all the origin stories. Most tales of Santa originated with the 4th-century Greek bishop St. Nicholas who lived in what is now Turkey. He came from a wealthy family but gave away his fortune to the needy in his village, often doing so without the needy knowing exactly who had one so.
