After the church was organized sometime after the council of Mycea.
At first it was strictly a religious observance but as history went on, it was to remember special people associated with Christmas such as St. Nicolas.

It is a pagan festival to welcome the coming of winter, north european in origin, relighted by the coca cola company as a advertising character, back in the early thirties. much like mothers day halloween, fathers day, very few original holidays exsist in thier own name, perhaps may day. regards LF
