Because that was the story that was made up.
St. Nicholas of Myra
Saint Nicholas
"St. Nicholas".
Who are you referring to - St. Nicholas of Myra or the great imposter Santa Claus? St. Nicholas was real, Santa is not. Santa has "elves" as sidekicks. St. Nicholas had other priests and Church members as "sidekicks."
But Santa IS real . . . he is real in the sense of loving and caring families, of fellowship between fellow believers, and in outpouring of generosity that accompanies Christmas! As a real, live person, Santa was Saint Nicholas who lived hundreds of years ago, and is remembered today mostly by legend.
Santa, or saint Nicholas, is skinny The REAL one ^^
It's Sain Nicholas (St. Nick,for short)Nicholas.
Santa is real and its not your mums and dads.!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas
Definitely! Another name for Santa is Saint Nicholas and if Santa is a Saint how can he not be real!? Its almost Christmas now so be good!
Yes! He is based on Saint Nicholas.
Saint Nicholas's other (or more likely, real) name is Santa Claus.
