THE REAL SANTA CLAUS
WAS ST. NICHOLAS, WHO
LIVED IN THIRD CENTURY.

The real Santa Claus, the original Of
them all, goes way back to the third
century.
his present name, Santa Claus. or
kriss kringle, is derived from st. Mich
olas. The incarnation of all that was
good and generous.
ST. Nicholas, destined to be worship
ed in various forms by the children of
scores Of centuries. was born in Pa
tara, n town Of Lydia. in Asia Minor.
From his earliest days he showed Il re
liglous inclination that destined him to
take a high place in the church.
As a Young man he entered the mon
astery Of Sion. and in time lie became
abbot and later bishop of Myra. His
sanctity and learning made him shine
ever in the most illustrious company.
and he was one of the most notable
hSures at the gathering of 31S bishops.
who met at Mica in 313 to condemn
the heresy of Arius.
While st. Nicholas became famous i'm
the councils of the church. it was still
more as the special friend of the chill
Ire that his fame spread.
One Of his earliest miracles. il is re-
lated. had to do with restoring to life
two or three children.
TWO VERSIONS
One account of the story says that
IN Asian sen his two sons to Athens
to study. En- route they fell in with
a villainous innkeeper. who. to get
their v%aluables. slew the two boys and
cut their bodies into bits. which he
put in his brine barrel to sell for pork.
Then st. Nicholas having seen the
crime in a vision. came to the spot and
restored the children to life.

SANTA'S OTHER NAMES

The idea of st. Nicholas was so beau
tiful that it took its place among the
great beliefs of the children, and in
different forms it is found nearly every
century.
Both his name and his form differ,
but everywhere his labor is the same.
In France. Germany. Russia and the
Netherlands he is the embodiment OF
an essentially religious idea, but in
England and the United States his Of
fee is more a secular one.
France always represents Noel as
the infant Jesus, and in Germany. too.
the name krist kindel, corrupted here
into Kriss Kringle. means literally the
Christ Child.
In France the little benefactor. who
slips in the home of the poor and
leaves gifts that would be far beyond
the power of their parents to buy, is
an inspiration to the youngSter.
Child is believed to come with gifts
for The little ones. he is dressed. like a
maiden. carrying a silver bell, lighted
tapers and wearing Il crown.
Belgium's children think that he
comes on a white horse. They polish
their little shoes and leave in them
carrots and hay and oats. so that the
horse can be refreshed when he pauses
for a brief minutes rest.
st. Nicholas carries the same name
in Holland that he does here Santa
Claus. In Switzerland they call him
Sauna Klaus and in Heligoland Sonner
Klaus.
He is Niklo or Niglo in Austria and
boasts the luxury of an attendant, who
assists him in carrying all his bundles.
This assistant to Santa Claus is known
as Krampus and with the children is
only a shade less popular thar his
chief.

patron saint is known in the TyrOl.
