Story
Another legend tells how a terrible famine struck the island. Saint Nicholas, visiting the region to care for the hungry, not only saw a terrible crime, but he also raised three boys with her prayers.
One version says that he usually threw one bag for three consecutive nights. He threw the wallet for three years, every night before one of the girls were born. Always, every time the father of the girls waited, trying to discover the identity of the benefactor
During the great famine that occurred in the years 311-312 Myra, a ship is in port, which is filled with wheat for the Emperor in Constantinople. Nicholas invited the sailors to unload a part of the wheat to help local people who are starving.
The sailors at first disliked the request, because the wheat had to be weighed accurately and must be given to the Emperor. But when Nicholas promised them that they would not suffer a loss because of shortage of wheat, the sailors agreed. Finally the sailors left almost half in the area.
When they arrived later in the capital to deliver the grain to the emperor, they were very surprised:. Weight did not change, although wheat has been given in Myra that was enough for two full years and could even be used for sowing.
Legend of Santa Claus
St. Nicholas made the first inroads into American popular culture towards the end of the 18th century. In December 1773, and also in 1774, a New York newspaper reported that groups of Dutch families had gathered to honor the anniversary of his death.
The name of Santa Claus (Santa Claus) evolved from Nick's Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas). In 1804, John Pintard, a member of the New York Historical Society, distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society's annual meeting. Background of the engraving contains now familiar Santa images including stockings filled with toys and fruit hung over a fireplace. In 1809, Washington Irving helped to popularize the Sinter Klaas stories when he referred to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of New York in his book, The History of New York.
Sinter Klaas was described as everything from a "rascal" with a three-cornered hat blue, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings to a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a "pair of Flemish trunk hose great."
