Nikolaosof Myra, was a historic 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishopof Myra (Demre, part of modern-day Turkey) in Lycia. Because of themany miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known asNikolaos the Wonderworker (Νικόλαος ὁ Θαυματουργός,Nikolaos ho Thaumaturgos). He had a reputation for secret gift-givingand thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comesfrom the Dutch Sinterklaas, itself from a series of elisions andcorruptions of the transliteration of \"Saint Nikolaos\". Hisreputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for earlyChristian saints
The historical Saint Nicholas iscommemorated and revered among Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran, and mostamong Orthodox Christians.
