The document discusses how St. Nicholas, a lean and tall Christian saint, transformed into the roly-poly Santa Claus in American tradition. It notes that Americans could not pronounce the German words for St. Nicholas ("Sankt Niklaus") and this led to the name "Santa" being adopted. It then lists some of the key physical and traditional differences between St. Nicholas and Santa Claus, such as their clothing, mode of transportation, appearance dates, and animal companions.
St. Nicholas lived in the 4th century in Myra, Turkey. He became a bishop at a young age and was beloved by the people for always helping those in need. He died on December 19th and his remains are located in Bari, Italy. The story of him secretly providing dowries for three poor maidens established his reputation as a protector of children and those in need. Over time, American writers changed his image and name, transforming him into the Santa Claus who arrives by flying sleigh pulled by reindeer on Christmas Eve.
Orthodox Serbian families celebrate Krsna Slava, honoring their patron saint who has been passed down through generations. Each family celebrates on the baptismal day of their ancestors, with traditions including an icon of the saint, wheat, bread, wine, and a priest's blessing. St. Nicholas is such a common patron saint that around his day in December, it is said that half of Serbia is celebrating their Slava and the other half is visiting others' Slavas.
St. Nicholas was born in the third century in Patara, Asia Minor. He became a priest and succeeded his uncle as bishop of Myra. As bishop, Nicholas spent his nights praying and days helping the needy. Stories tell of his generosity, such as giving dowries to three poor sisters so they would not be sold into slavery. He is also said to have saved three generals from unjust execution and helped sailors during a storm. After his death, his remains were moved to Bari, Italy where a church was built in his honor, and he is still widely revered today.
