When Santa Clause (person not the sprit) was alive, Does anyone know where he was from be4 taking on the role?

Answer 1

Saint Nicholas (Greek: Νικόλαος, Nikolaos, "victory of the people") is the common name for Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, who had a reputation for secret gift-giving, but is now commonly identified with Santa Claus, Father Christmas or in the Netherlands and northern Belgium as Sint-Nicolaas or Sinterklaas. He lived in 4th-century Myra in the Roman Empire's Lycia, the modern day Demre in the Antalya province of Turkey. This is as much as is generally known about him in the West.

This historical character was the inspiration for a mythical figure known as Sankt Nikolaus in Germany and Sinterklaas in the Netherlands and Flanders, which in turn was the inspiration for Santa Claus. Sinterklaas (a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas) is a major celebration in the Netherlands and in Flanders (see below). Among Orthodox Christians, the historical Saint Nicholas is remembered and revered. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, children, and students in Greece, Russia and Serbia. He is also the patron saint of Barranquilla (Colombia), Bari (Italy) Amsterdam (Netherlands), and of Beit Jala in the West Bank of Palestine.

Answer 2

I think it was somewhere in northern Europe, but I'm not sure. It was obviously a place with cold and snowy winters. It might have even been a German thing, I'm not sure. I doubt it was from the costal countries though; the ocean keeps the land at a more constant temperature year round. I'm sure it was Europe though, even western Europe.

Answer 3

He was from a town near Germany, and his original suit wasn´t red it was brown.
