The origin of Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century bishop in Turkey, who secretly helped the poor. The modern image of Santa Claus spread worldwide through 19th-century American advertising and literature.
Coca-Cola's Christmas advertising played a major role in popularizing the image of Santa Claus in his red suit. Santa Claus is known by different names in different countries: 'Santa Claus' in English-speaking countries, 'Père Noël' in France, and 'Sinterklaas' in the Netherlands.
