is santa real?

Answer 1

I do believe. I believe that there may not be a fat man in a sleigh who travels around the world giving out presents, but I do believe that there is a santa claus. I believe that every time someone does a good deed, just to make someone happy, they are santa. I believe that anyone who gives to charity is Santa. I believe the man in the big yellow coat who bought a sandwich and gave it to a homeless man on the steps is Santa. And I believe that every time a parent does something out of love for their child, or any child, there is a Santa.

Answer 2

Santa Claus is a variation of a Dutch folk tale based on the historical figure Saint Nicholas, a bishop from Myra in Asia Minor (the greater part of modern-day Turkey), who used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. His charity became legend when a man lost his fortune and found himself incapable of supporting his three daughters, who would not be able to find husbands as they lacked dowries. This man was going to give them over to a life of prostitution; however, St Nicholas provided them with gold, enabling them to retain their virginal virtues and marry.

This inspired figure of Sinterklaas, the subject of a major celebration in the Netherlands and Belgium, Germany (where his believed date of death, December 6, is celebrated the evening before on December 5), which in turn inspired both the myth and the name of Santa Claus. "Santa Claus" is actually a mispronunciation of the Dutch word "Sinterklaas" by the English settlers of New Amsterdam (later renamed New York). Whilst in those countries Saint Nicholas is celebrated as a distinct character with a religious touch separate from Christmas, Santa Claus is also making inroads as a symbol during the Christmas season

If you ask me however, the Santa Claus we speak of is just the spirit of the holidays in our hearts. He may not be real, but he can live on in our goodwill towards others. Give to the poor this holiday season, and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Santo Nicola di Bari lived in Italy and performed miracles. He loved children, and became their patron saint. Thousands of people worship and pray to San Nicola, because they know he listens and intercedes for them.

Those of us who depend upon Saint Nicolas for spiritual strength and guidance are pleased that many people participate in this practice every year. Saint Nicolas is the Christianized embodiment of an older pagan spirit who cares for all the children in the world.

He is the Father to orphans and protector of the abandoned. Thank you Saint Nicolas for answered prayers. Please join me in a moment of worship for the whimsical and benevolent Spirit of Saturnalia, who holds us in his tender arms while we sleep.

Visit his churches in Bari and Molise and make a pligirmage to where he is buried. You will see that he is waiting to help you, I know this from experience. Yes, Santa is indeeed real.

Even the Roman Catholic Pope has a pagan Christmas tree in the Vatican every year, to honour this Saint. Santa Claus is greater than any Pope or Christ Chlld. He might even be the one true God.
