Saint Nicholas (Greek: Ἅγιος Νικόλαος, Hágios Nikólaos, Latin: Sanctus Nicolaus); (15 March 270 – 6 December 343),also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century Christian Saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor (modern-day Demre). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker (Νικόλαος ὁ Θαυματουργός, Nikólaos ho Thaumaturgós). His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian Saints+his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus through Sinterklaas.
