WESTERN CAROLINIAN western Carolinian features CI t The Mystery of Santa Claus ... Revealed! by Jeffrey Leatherwood Staff Historian Most readers are very acquainted with the paragon of Christmas: Santa Claus. His familiar silhouette can be seen around lamp-lit street corners and bright shopping malls. Television and radio commercials broadcast Santa's chuckling, stentorian voice for several weeks. Our elderly representative from the Arctic Circle seems to be everywhere at once. Santa Claus is more identifiable than the religious figure from which Christmas first derived its name. But we are still bewildered by the many Santa Clauses who bring smiles to children's faces. Will the true Santa Claus ever reveal himself? History tells the curious that our St. Nicholas was a bishop in Izmir, Turkey, during the time of Constantine, the Byzantine ruler who popularized Christianity during the fourth century. Nicholas was present at the foundation of Christian orthodoxy when the Nicene Council of 325 convened. After his death, Nicholas' remains were enshrined and visited by European pilgrims until the late 11th century. Italian merchants stole Nicholas from his resting place in the Middle East, taking him to Italy, where his fate is now a mystery. In life, Nicholas was renowned for his generosity. Several tales survived from antiquity, legends which vary in their veracity. One somewhat credible account describes how Nicholas paid the dowries of three maidens who could not marry A turn ofthe Century depiction of Santa Claus accompanied by seraphims. WM WlHiAN Aunt Zula's Christmas Cutouts 1 cup shortening 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1.

A more gruesome myth involves the good bishop with a mad butcher who murdered children for his marketplace. Nicholas not only delivered the deranged meat dealer to justice, but he also resurrected the poor children and returned them to joyous parents. Throughout the Middle Ages, St. Nicholas enjoyed the reverence of churches from Greece to Russia. He became the patron of children, quite understandably. His protection also extended toward unmarried girls, sailors, and merchants. The latter cases are rather ironic, when one considers the Italian merchants who brought him across the Mediterranean Sea. Perhaps Nicholas enjoyed his voyage. After the Protestant Reformation, only Holland maintained the Catholic tradition of Saint Nicholas, whom they united with a Nordic legend, a wizard who granted gifts An artist's rendering to good children while punishing the mischievous. The Dutch brought "Sinter Klaas" to the newly- formed colony of New Amsterdam, which later became the American state of New York. New Yorkers proudly preserved many of their original Dutch traditions. Washington Irving, whose Legend of Sleepy Hollow recently enjoyed a Hollywood butchery of its own, wrote several tales concerning the Dutch communities under the pseudonym of Diedrich Knickerbocker. His 1809 writings inspired another American named Clement Moore to write a now-famous poem entitled The Night Before Christmas. Published in 1822, this memorable verse saw many reprintings and the Sinter Klaas story spread across the United States, gradually becoming anglicized into Santa Claus. The reindeer-powered sleigh, Santa's customary chariot, was a Clement Moore creation. The chimney tradition also appeared in The Night Before Christmas for the first time. Other popular images followed in the latter half of the century. Between 1863 and 1886, Harper's Weekly magazine published a series of Christmas engravings by Thomas Nast, whose career as a political cartoonist and satirist is also noteworthy. Nast's inventions included Santa's workshop, with its diminutive staff of elves. Santa also began reading his fan mail and keeping an official list of naughty children at this time. By the 20th century, Christmas became quite a profitable occasion through the use of Santa Claus and his milieu. During the Depression, the Coca-Cola Company continued the Harper's Weekly tradition by circulating modern interpretations of Thomas Nast each season. Today, if you pick up any Coke product around December, it's the official beverage ofthe North Pole. http://www.claus.com of St. Nicholas.
