Christopher Bradley: Who is Santa Claus? Nicholas was the Greek Bishop of Myra. Following his death, his legendary generosity established him as the principal gift-giving saint. Over the centuries the image of St Nicholas changed constantly until the Dutch reinvented him as Sinterklaas. Taking him to their new colonies in America, he transformed into Santa Claus. Later re-imported into Britain without his Catholic baggage, he gradually emerged as Father Christmas. lectures are held at Walthamstow Hall Senior School, Holly Bush Lane, Sevenoaks, TN13 3UL and parking is free.
