Ever wondered why "Santa" Claus isn't called "Santo" Claus? "Santa" being Latin for female "saint." But isn't Santa Claus a male? Did you know that earlier versions of Santa Claus are blond female youths? Ever heard of the Christkindl, or Christkind? This book removes the mask to reveal how the early Christian doctrine, that "Christ went to other nations," is one of the main themes behind that mask of the later myths about Santa Claus. It explores art works, legends, writings, customs & artifacts to show where many original beliefs go back to. However, unlike the other study: "Jesus Christ, The World Wide Wounded Wanderer," which explores evidences from other nations' writings, etc., that shows Jesus went around the world. This book centers on Christmas traditions, legends, customs, writings & art works. It traces the later myths back through the centuries to the early Christian doctrines. Did Christ go to into Russia? Germany? England? The Americas? The islands of the seas? What about Kriss Kringle, Christkindl, or Christkind? Plus other gift bearers & the different guises Christ wanders the world as?
