What St. Nicholas Really Looked Like
He is now known as Santa Claus, but he did not have a lot in common with the man riding the sleigh. Since he was from Turkey, his skin should be darker and his features more Middle Eastern. People tend to assume that they are white, which is just plain wrong and inaccurate!
