The origin of Santa Claus

The origin of Santa Claus Many people don't know the origin of Santa Claus. Let me explain briefly here.

Note: [There is no Santa Claus in the Bible]

In the eyes of ordinary people, Santa Claus is a short and fat old man with white hair, rosy face, squinting, wrinkled face and kind smile. He often wears red clothes and a big hat with a ball. He wore a wide belt around his waist, black leather boots on his feet and a big bag full of bags on his back. He bent down, sat on a snowmobile pulled by a deer, came from a place of ice and snow, and traveled all over the world, distributing Christmas gifts to children, poor old people and orphans, bringing them love and warmth.

Actually, Santa Claus does. Does he look like what he just said? I'm not sure. Santa Claus, whose original name was Nicholas, was born in patara in Asia Minor in the 4th century. His family is very rich and his parents are very enthusiastic Catholic friends. Unfortunately, his parents died young. When Nicholas grew up, he donated all his wealth to the poor, became a monk himself, and devoted his life to the church and served the society. Nicholas later became a priest and was promoted to bishop. In his life, he has done a lot of charity work, and he likes to help the poor in secret. Santa Claus was his later nickname, which came from the story that he secretly sent money to help three girls.

It is said that there are three beautiful girls living not far from Nicholas. They are twenty, eighteen and sixteen years old. My father is a poor scholar and often lives by borrowing goods. Once, because she was unable to pay her debts, she had to sell her beautiful and healthy third daughter to a creditor and take her to Africa as a maid. When the three daughters learned about this, they hugged each other and cried. The sad situation at home can be imagined. Nicholas knew about it and ran to their house to comfort him. In the evening, Nicholas put gold in three stockings and hung them in front of the windows of three girls. When they got the gold and paid off their father's debts, their third daughter was spared the fate of being a maid. The next day was Christmas. Knowing that Nicholas had done something good, they invited him to celebrate and thank him. These three girls tell this story every Sunday. Hearing this, the children are very envious and hope that Santa Claus will give him a sock gift.

Later, I don't know which clever parents began to give socks to their children in the name of Santa Claus. As a result, this habit became popular in Europe and America. Nicholas later became the bishop of Milla. Because he was an orphan when he was a child, he became a special protector of orphans. After his death, the church listed him as a saint. His spirit of caring for orphans and helping the poor has been passed down with Christmas. Later, many kind people in the world followed Nicholas's spirit of love and donated many things in the name of Santa Claus, bringing love to the poor, the poor elderly and orphans. Every year when Christmas comes, Santa Claus always appears all over the world, bringing warmth and happiness to millions of children, lonely old people and abandoned children in Qian Qian. We hope that all the friends who live well in the world are Santa Claus, and spread the glory of love to every corner of the world within our power, not only at Christmas, but even at ordinary times.

There is another kind: Santa Claus used to be a distinguished red knight when he was young. I don't remember the rest clearly. sorry
