The jolly figure of Santa Claus, symbol of the secular side of Christmas, began with a 4th century Christian saint named Nicholas. His life and deeds were not recorded until several hundred years after his death, so that separating fact from legend is virtually impossible. Normal "church Latin" pronunciation is perfectly acceptable. Much performance information is included in the octavo.
