Does Santa Claus exist in Christianity?
Asked 3 years ago
Does the bible say anything about Santa Claus? I've been inspecting Christmas, and it seems that it is a great mixture of traditions and beliefs. Some from Paganism, Druidism, some rooted in Christianity. So what about Santa?

Santa Claus does not originate from the Bible. The name Santa Claus originated from the Dutch name Sinterklaas. This Sinterklaas was a priest in 28AD. He dedicated his life to helping the poor, underprivileged and mentally challenged while wearing red clothing. He left them gifts at their fireplaces.
