Program Description
Event Details
Unfortunately, this program has been cancelled.
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?
Please note that because of secrets revealed, this program is NOT intended for children for whom Santa Claus is a very real figure!
This lecture is presented by Laura Keyes of Historic Voices.
