Santa Claus, a beloved figure all around the world, actually has his roots in a real person - Saint Nicholas. π Saint Nicholas was a bishop in the 4th century in a place called Myra (now part of Turkey). He was known for his kindness and generosity, especially towards children.
The modern image of Santa Claus - with his red suit, white beard, and jolly demeanor - was popularized in the United States and Canada in the 19th century. πΊπΈπ¨π¦ This image of Santa was further shaped by the famous poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas") and advertisements by companies like Coca-Cola.
