The History and Folklore of Santa Claus
2021-12-13 17:00 - 18:00
Many folks know that our modern-day Santa Claus had his start as St. Nicholas, but what happened on the journey to make us think of a “jolly old elf” rather than a pious Christian bishop? Where, exactly, did Santa Claus come from, and why does his popularity remain so high in modern American popular culture? This illustrated virtual lecture is well-researched, with details on the journey Bishop Nicholas made to become our current-day Santa Claus. It also includes many recognizable images and poems.
This virtual program will take place on December 13 at 5:00 on Zoom and will be live streamed to the library’s Facebook page.
