When it comes to celebrating Christmas and the joyful character of Santa Claus, the image that we see of him nowadays is a big difference from his true origins. Now, you might be thinking about the North Pole or Lapland, his reindeer, elves and a toy workshop for the millions of good little children all around the world.

However, the origins of Santa Claus began on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey in a small town called Patara. Called Nicholas, he was a bishop of the nearby town of Demre.
