Saint Nicholas was a real historical figure who lived in the 4th century in what is now Turkey. He was known for his generosity and kindness, particularly towards children and the needy, which eventually led to his canonization as a saint. Over time, his legacy evolved into the modern figure of Santa Claus, blending various cultural and folkloric elements. While the historical Saint Nicholas is real, the contemporary portrayal as Santa Claus is a mythological character.
