Synopsis
Before Santa Claus, there was Nicholas of Myra.
Long before the red suit, the sleigh, the reindeer, and the glittering mythology of Christmas, there was a real man: a fourth century bishop from the coast of ancient Lycia, remembered for courage, charity, relics, miracles, theological conflict, and one of the most extraordinary transformations in cultural history.
St. Nicholas: The Bishop, the Bones, and the Making of Santa Claus uncovers the remarkable journey of Nicholas of Myra from early Christian bishop to beloved saint, from the shrine at Myra to the stolen bones of Bari, from medieval devotion to Dutch Sinterklaas, and from old European folklore to the modern image of Santa Claus.
Inside this book, readers will discover:
The real historical world of Nicholas of Myra
The Council of Nicaea and the legends surrounding Nicholas
The secret charity that shaped the tradition of gift giving
The miracles, relics, and cult of Saint Nicholas
The dramatic theft of his bones and the rise of his western devotion
How Sinterklaas became Santa Claus
How poetry, art, advertising, and Christmas culture remade a saint into a global symbol
This is a serious, fascinating, and richly told account of the man beneath the myth. It follows Nicholas through history, legend, theology, relic culture, folklore, and festive imagination, revealing how one bishop’s memory survived empire, schism, pilgrimage, commerce, and reinvention.
The Santa Claus known today did not appear from nowhere.
He began with a saint.
And behind that saint was a man.
