Event Details
Many folks know that our modern-day Santa Claus had his start as St. Nicholas, but what happened on the journey to make us think of a "jolly old elf" rather than a pious Christian bishop? Where exactly did Santa Claus come from, and why does his popularity remain so high in modern American popular culture? This well-researched illustrated lecture includes details on the journey Bishop Nicholas made to become our current-day Santa Claus. It also includes many recognizable images and poems.
