Saint Nicholas , also called Nikolaus the Wonderworker, was a historic 4th-century Greek Bishop of Myra (=Demre in modern-day Turkey). He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus. (Read more in Wikipedia)
