Saint nicholas lived in Lycia in the 4th century. He was born in a relatively rich family. His parents died when he was still very young, leaving him a lot of money. Saint nicholas is a devout Christian. He devoted his whole life to God. He accepted the teaching in the Bible: "Sell all your property and give it to the needy poor", and devoted all his property to helping the needy poor, which earned people's respect and gratitude.
In gratitude and belief for Nicholas, after his death, there was a legend in northern Europe that there was an old man named Nicholas in the north of Finland. He had countless wealth, but he liked to help the poor in need. He traveled around the world in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, and people who were in trouble gave generously to help them solve their difficulties.
Later, Nicholas was gradually regarded as the god of children. Legend has it that he would climb down the chimney into the children's home on Christmas Eve and stuff gifts into stockings. If the child is very sensible in this year, there will be a lot of gifts stuffed into socks.
The image of Santa Claus in red, with a white beard and an affable smile, driving a sleigh pulled by reindeer has now been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become an important symbol of Christmas.
