Some Santa Claus background information

Quite often when I am in the Santa chair, I am asked how old is Santa. Here is some information about Santa Claus and some of his Origins. Santa Claus is believed to have been born around 280 A.D. in Patara, which is now part of modern-day Turkey. This makes him around 1,752 years old in 2023. The origins of Santa Claus can be traced back to Saint Nicholas, a monk who was known for his acts of kindness:
  • Providing financial assistance to a family so they wouldn’t have to sell their daughters into slavery
  • Praying for sailors who were threatened by a storm
  • Giving dowries to three impoverished sisters

Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of children and sailors. He was canonized by Pope Eugene IV in 1446. Saint Nicholas officially became associated with Christmas in 1823, when Clement Clarke Moore’s poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” was published
