History and Background of Santa Claus

christmas is on its way we all know
about Santa but what about babushka
Saint Nicholas and black Peter hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning about Santa’s counterparts from
around the world considered an ancestor
of our modern-day Santa Claus the
stately form of Saint Nicholas is
dressed in red and carries of bishops
crook hailing originally from Turkey the
figure historically rewards good
children one story about st. tells her
three small children who find themselves
lost they traveled to the house of an
evil butcher who says he will help them
but ends up chopping them into small
pieces and puts them in a pickling tub
for seven years at this time st.
Nicholas appears at the butchers door
explaining that he knows what the man’s
done shortly after Saint Nicholas prays
to God and this restores the children to
wholeness in life and they return to
their families this is one of the many
stories which explains why st. Nicholas
is the patron and protector of children
black Peter or pure Lenoir is a
companion of st. Nicholas seen as a
chimney sweep thus it covered man is a
counterpart of Santa Clauses elves
helping the men in red give his gifts to
children black Peter descends in the
chimney before Saint Nicholas and
instead of rewarding the good children
he punishes those who have been bad by
filling issues with turnips stones and
coal and when they’ve been really really
bad I give them a spanking with my sis
like this have a good day and enjoy your
visit like see you sorry I’ve gotta go
bye bye
