St. Nicholas

In the fourth century, St. Nikolaos of Myra, sometimes known as St. Nicholas, was a Christian saint. ‘He was a Bishop from Turkey who was known for his generosity and kindness,’ according to sources. This was the start of the Christmas tradition. He was a real person, despite the fact that the story has altered dramatically over the years.

What St. Nicholas Really Looked Like

He was known as Santa Claus, despite the fact that he didn’t resemble the man that comes to mind when you think of him. He was likely to have a darker complexion and features matching those of the Middle East because he was Turkish. People in the West have a tendency to believe that historical figures resemble them. As you can see, this is completely inaccurate!
