传统风俗
Noun:
the legendary patron saint of children; an imaginary being who is thought to bring presents to children at Christmas相传公元4世纪小亚细亚有一位乐善好施的主教名叫Saint Nicholas。一天晚上他外出散步，从一家人家的窗口经过，听见三姐妹在里面哭泣。原来她们可怜的父亲因办不起嫁妆没能给她们找到丈夫，准备将她们卖到妓院去。Saint Nicholas听了之后，从身上掏出三袋金子，扔了进去，在那位父亲还没来得及道谢之前，就已消失在茫茫夜色之中。据说圣诞节赠送礼物的习俗即源出这一传说，而Santa Claus一词则源于Saint Nicholas这一名字。在荷兰、德国等地Saint Nicholas被尊奉为小孩的守护神。他的节日12月6日的前夕就是孩子们的节日。按习俗，要求有一个人装扮成Saint Nicholas，给孩子们送礼物。移居纽约的英国人从早期的荷兰移民那里照搬了这一习俗，而且把时间从12月6日移至圣诞节这天。Saint Nicholas在荷兰语作Sant Nikolaas，在荷兰方言作Sante KLaas，到了说英语的人嘴里就成了Santa Claus．汉语通译为“圣诞老人”。Santa Claus的形象总是一个样子：矮矮胖胖、快快活活、留着长长的白胡子、穿着红袍子。这一形象出自美国画家纳斯特Thomas Nast，1840 - 1902之手。有人请他画一幅Santa Claus的画像，他以儿时给他送礼物的一位老人为原形作了画。殊不知他的画从此成了Santa Claus的形象。近义词 Santa美=Santa Cl…Kriss Kringle圣诞老人Father Christmas圣诞老人
