What's the meaning of Santa Claus
Two of his names -- Santa Claus and
Saint Nicholas -- both come from the Dutch who settled in New York long ago.
The Dutch believed Saint Nikolas gave gifts to children. They honored this
kindly saint with a yearly festival on December sixth. The English-speaking
people who lived nearby greatly enjoyed Dutch festivals. And they brought the
Saint and the custom of giving gifts into their own celebration at Christmas
time.
The Dutch spoke the name "Saint Nikolas" very fast. It sounded like
"Sinterklaas." And so, when the English said this word, it sounded
like Santa Claus.
West of New York, in Pennsylvania, many German farmers had also heard of Saint Nikolas. But they called him Pelznickel. This word came from "pelz,"
meaning fur, and "nickel" for Nicholas. And so, to the Germans of
Pennsylvania, Saint Nicholas or Pelznickel was a man dressed in fur who came
once a year with gifts for good children.
Soon, people began to feel that the love and kindness Pelznickel brought should
be part of a celebration honoring the Christkindl, as the Germans called the
Christ child. After a time, this
became Kris Kringle. Later, Kris Kringle became another name for Santa Claus
himself.
Whatever he is called, he is still the same short, fat, jolly old man with a
long beard, wearing a red suit with white fur.
The picture of Santa Claus, as we see him, came from Thomas Nast. He was an
American painter born in Bavaria. He painted pictures for Christmas poems.
Someone asked him to paint a picture of Santa Claus.
Nast remembered when he was a little boy in southern Germany. Every Christmas,
a fat old man gave toys and cakes to the children. So, when Nast painted the
picture, his Santa Claus
looked like the kindly old man of his childhood. And through the years, Nast's
painting has remained as the most popular picture Of Santa Claus.
Santa can be seen almost everywhere in large American cities during the
Christmas season. Some stand on street corners asking for money to buy food and
gifts for the needy. Others are found in stores and shopping centers.
