Publisher's Synopsis
Who Was St. Nicholas?
Who is Santa Claus?
Why are they important to Christmas?
Together their reputations span centuries across continents. Their stories have been handed down from generation to generation. And yet, we know more about the mythical Santa Claus than we do about his ancestral origin Saint Nicholas.
Though Saint Nicholas was a real bishop who lived in Asia Minor, and Santa Claus is his American alter ego, they share one common reality - their connection to a baby born in a manger in Bethlehem.
