The Santa Claus slot symbol 🎅🎅🎅⁠

The prototype of Santa Claus, as everyone knows, was St. Nicholas 🎅🎅🎅⁠
⠀
But ... how did St. Nicholas become Santa Claus? In the United States, this character came from Holland in the 17th century. In 1626, a frigate from several Dutch ships arrived in the New World. On the bow of the main ship "Goede Vrove" stood the figure of Nicholas, who was also the patron saint of sailors.
⠀
Only Indians and new inhabitants spoke their own language, and not English. They could not clearly pronounce the name of the saint and the phrase sounded like “Sinter Clas”, then transformed into “Santa Clas”, and over time into the familiar “Santa Claus”
