But ... how did St. Nicholas become Santa Claus? In the United States, this character came from Holland in the 17th century. In 1626, a frigate from several Dutch ships arrived in the New World. On the bow of the main ship "Goede Vrove" stood the figure of Nicholas, who was also the patron saint of sailors.
