How did St Nicholas become Santa Claus | firstcoastnews com

From St. Nicholas to Santa Claus | The history behind Santa Claus The legend of the Christmas gift giver has been around for centuries. Yet the first images of Santa Claus looks little like the Santa we know today. Credit: Public Domain/Getty Stock Photo Author: Matthew Copeland (WTLV) Updated: 4:01 PM EST December 24, 2020 JACKSONVILLE, Fla The classic image of Santa Claus, the big jolly man with a flowing white beard and red suit, may be one of the most recognizable characters throughout the world. Yet, it took hundreds of years to develop what we now know as Santa. Prior to the 19th century, there were several variations of a Christmastime gift giver. Most of them were based on St. Nicholas of Myra, a 4th century Christian bishop and the patron saint of children. According to Catholic Insight, Christian tradition holds St. Nicholas would offer gifts to children as a form of charity.

EDITORIAL: Good luck to new FAMPO administrator

BY THE EDITORIAL STAFF OF THE FREE LANCE-STAR WELCOME and good luck to Ian Ollis, the newly hired administrator of the Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO), who will need all the luck he can get in dealing with FAMPOâS fractious Policy Committee, whose meetings have lately degenerated into shouting matches and walk-outs more reminiscent of Fight Night than a deliberative gathering of public officials. The new administrator comes well-armed with a masterâs degree in city planning specializing in transportation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as practical experience working for the Boston-based Transit Matters and managing transportation projects in his native South Africa. Hopefully, his impressive credentials will help him calm the waters and get members of the Policy Committee back on the same page again.

Battle of Fredericksburg and The Angel of Marye s Heights

Share This: Photos: Wikipedia, painting by Don Stivers The Civil War was not going well for the Union during the first two years. The Union was suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia and it seemingly had no answer. Backstabbing and in-fighting among the Union’s Army leadership were rampant. President Lincoln had appointed a series of commanders looking for the one who would be able to take on Lee and beat the outnumbered but resilient enemy. By the time of the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, Lincoln had given command over to Ambrose Burnside. Burnside had the opportunity to surprise Lee but a series of failures would ultimately cause another Union debacle. In the battle of Fredericksburg Burnside’s army of 114,000 would engage Lee’s 72,500; it would be the largest battle of the Civil War.
