Character image

The image of Christmas mainly refers to Santa Claus, and its prototype is Saint Nicholas, a bishop who lived in Milla (present-day Turkish territory) in the 4th century. He has done a lot of charity work in his life. He likes to help the poor in the dark. Santa Claus was his later nickname. The name comes from the story that he secretly sent money to help three girls.

Nicholas was honored as a saint after his death. The image of Santa Claus is an old man wearing a red robe, a red hat and a white beard. Every Christmas, he comes from the north in a sleigh pulled by deer, enters every house through the chimney, puts Christmas presents in socks and hangs them on the children's beds or in front of the stove.
