圣诞节对于西方人来讲是很重要的节日，关于圣诞老人也有一些传说，来了解一下吧。 下面是由出国留学网小编为大家整理的“圣诞老人的由来和传说”，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。
这可以追溯到公元4世纪，那时在小亚细亚（Little Asia）、卢西亚（Rusia）和米拉城（the city of Mila）有一位主教名叫尼古拉斯。据说这位主教和蔼可亲、热心救助穷人。到公元6世纪，东方尊他为圣人，称为圣尼古拉斯（Saint Nicholas）。曾有三个少年被一旅店主杀害并腌在缸里，后来圣尼古拉斯拯救了他们，从而使他们得以复活。还传说，有一破产贵族的三个女儿，由于圣尼古拉斯秘密给她们嫁妆而免遭厄运。
英语中Santa Claus来自荷兰语Sinter Klass。早先在纽约，住着荷兰人、英国人。荷兰人相信圣尼古拉斯给孩子们送礼物的传说，为了纪念他，每年在12月6日前夕举行庆祝活动。而住在附近说英语的居民非常喜欢荷兰人的节庆，在过圣诞节时照搬圣人送礼物的荷兰人风俗。由于荷兰人讲话很快，他们说Sinter Nikolas，听起来很象Sinter Klass，从而演变成英语Santa Claus.
在纽约西边的宾夕法尼亚（Pennsylvania），许多德国农夫也听说过Saint Nikolass，但他们却把这位圣人叫做佩尔兹尼克尔（Pelznickel）。
不久，人们渐渐觉得应该把这位圣人的善举和基督生日庆祝的圣诞节联系起来。德国把圣童基督叫做克里斯特金德尔（Christkindl），过些年又把圣童基督叫做克里斯·克林格尔（Kriss Kringle） ，这样圣诞老人又被称为Christkindl或Kriss Kringle了。
圣诞老人的形象
早先圣诞老人的形象与现在不同。在殖民地时代，纽约的荷兰移民把他画成一位快乐的老人，有时旁边还有一位温顺的老伴。到18世纪，通过文学和绘画，尤其画家托马斯·纳斯特的绘画，圣诞老人才有如今的形象。据说有人请纳斯特画一幅圣诞老人，他记得小时候在德国的巴伐利亚。每年过圣诞节时，总有个矮矮胖胖的老头送给他玩具和点心，于是纳斯特就以儿时给他送礼物的老人做原型绘成画，后来人们又把圣诞老人与娜威神话人物克里斯·克伦格尔联系在一起，这位神仙常坐在一辆有两头鹿拉的雪撬上。于是圣诞老人也就乘坐了两头鹿拉的雪橇。这种形象越传越广，一直流传全美乃至全世界。这才有了如今倍受儿童喜爱的圣诞老人。

在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即将出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称olas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。
每年圣诞节，圣诞老人骑在驯鹿上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人...

圣诞节 是令人雀跃期待的日子，尤其是小孩子。相信大家对圣诞老公公的事都耳熟能详吧?从前有一个老人，名叫尼古拉斯，他一生最爱帮助贫穷的人家。其中有一次他帮助三个贫穷的少后送他们三袋金子以逃过被卖的不幸。当尼古拉斯偷偷把其中一袋金子送给其中一名女子时，他把金子从其中一个窗户扔进去，恰好掉进景在壁上的一长袜中。于是，将礼物放在圣诞袜子的送礼方法家挨户地去要糖果哟!
据说平安夜的晚上， 圣诞节 老公公会驾着驯鹿雪橇满载着礼物准备送点这一年来表现很好的小朋友，他会悄悄地从烟囱爬进屋内，礼物塞在挂在床头的袜子里。所以孩子总会把一条条色彩缤纷的袜子挂在床头，并在袜子旁边放杯热牛奶给劳苦功高的圣诞老人解渴，并送份大礼给自己。隔天一每个小朋友都迫不及待地打开礼，想知道自己得到什么奖励。

The original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern Turkish town of Lycia early in the fourth century. His generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. We know this primarily through Roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. Throughout the Middle Ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them Santa Claus. Children today would not at all recognize the St. Nick who brought gifts to European children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. He made his rounds in full red-and-white bishop's robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. He was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey.

During the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, St. Nicholas was banished from most European countries. Replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..The Dutch kept the St. Nicholas tradition alive. As the "protector of sailors," St. Nicholas graced the prow of the first Dutch ship that arrived in America. And the first church built in New York City was named after him. The Dutch brought with them to the New World two Chris...
