THE ORIGINS
OF JOLLY OLD
SANTA CLAUS
Tbs droll figure we Amer
teos know m Santa is ac
tually a combination of
many legends, reaching as
far back as 200 A.D.
8t Nicholas, the fore
runner of our' modern St.
Vkk, was known for his
generosity. After his death
many European countries
Adopted him as their patron
• mint.
He was Introduced to this
Country by the Dutch set
tlers of New Amsterdam,
BOW known as New York
Qty. St. Nicholas was im
agined as a tall, thin figure
In the robes of a bishop, un
til the 1800’s when Amer
ican artists began to picture
him as short, fat and nappy,
much like the German ver
sion of "Sankt Nikolaus."
Tbs reindeer-drawn sleigh
Is derived from the Swiss
notion of a “Christk indl,” or
Kriss Kringle, and has since
been appropriated as our
own Santa.
The color of Santa’s suit
is a reminder of the red
robes of a bishop worn by
the original St Nicholas.
So you see, Santa didn’t
Just *oiappen"... like Top-
Sty, he grew, out of the tales
and fancies of many na

CHILDREN EVERYWHERE
LOVE SAINT NICHOLAS
Although he may have
various names or come in as
many guises, the spirit of
St Nicholas is known to
youngsters the world over.
In France, he is called
Per* Noel and he places the
children’s gifts in their
Shoes, rather than in their
Stockings.
In Spain, Santa takes the
form of the Three Wise Men
who bring gifts on the eve
of Epiphany instead of
Christmas Eve.
In Switzerland, it is the
Christ Child who delivers
gifts of toys, nuts, sweets,
and cakes to youngsters.

be so enriched bv the spirit of the Christ that the hurts thereof will be not only bountiful
tut olso shared with others lea forttnote than we, and-thus make us a blessing to our
tetowmen. We wiH then keep Christ In our Christmas, and * will be more meaningful
and hove greater significance for oN—more (Reply feh and more widely appreciated.
ASSURING A BETTER LIFE
3esus came that man might have Wt and hove it more abundantly. If our lives ore
permeated by the spirit and the love of Christ, wo cannot pass silently by "on the other
side of the street" untouched and unmoved by the suffering and plight of the leu fortunate;
of the winded of body and mirtt; as thaee deprived a# their rights of citizenship and
denied equal erkieattonal and employment opportunities, and equal protection of the low
of those who hove fallen prey to imconeclonoble londterds and who ore ccvigned to the
squoior of the ghetfam and the.slums, and fa many balances at extortionate rental rotes,
and whose outlook an life k dhmoi On the contrary we wB have compassion for the dis
advantaged and underprtvaogedfc and w« wo* JMgsnlty far the undoing of onv wrongs
done them and the removfag as their deficiencies; and far restorvtg hope, and brmoma
about a now outlook upon Ms.
MEANT FOR ALL
The glad tkfings as Christmas a m meant far ab peoples everywhere. We ore privileged
to be commissioned to carry these tidings to them.
As Jesus Bed «o mbem and ad* men hofy may we *ve to help make man free and
fa aid fa brfagfag abmjt Face on Earth and Goaded toward dl man; and a more obsmdont
Nfe far aA. This is my ChmSmas wbh far you and for me.
