WHO IS SANTA CLAUS? Art from St Nicholas to Father Christmas
This event is for TASH Members and their Guests ONLY.
Nicholas was the Greek bishop of Myra, a 4th century port in Anatolia. Following his death, his legendary generosity established him as the principle gift-giving saint as well as the Patron Saint of Seafarers and Children. Over the centuries the image of St Nicholas changed until the Dutch reinvented him as Sinterklaas. Later in the colonies in America he transformed into kindly Santa Claus, gradually emerging in Britain as Father Christmas.
