The story of Santa Claus originated in Turkey

Born to wealthy parents, Nicholas was a Christian saint and Greek bishop of Myra, who was born in Patara.

Once his parents died, he received a large amount of wealth, which he would give away to the poor and needy. Legend has it that he would drop bags of gold coins down the chimneys of houses, and provide fruits to children.

His good deeds spread through Europe, and locals began integrating it with their myths and legends.
