Petco Photos With Santa AND Legendary Story Of Santa Claus
Legend has it that Santa
Claus appeared in Scandinavia thousands of years ago. In
Norse mythology, Odin, the god of wisdom, art, poetry, and war, rides on his
eight-legged horse to gallop around the ends of the world, punish evil, promote
good, and distribute gifts in the cold winter.
At the same time, his son
Thor, wearing a red suit and using lightning as a weapon, fought a fierce
battle with the ice and snow gods, finally defeating the cold. According
to pagan legends, Santa Claus is a descendant of
the god Odin. In the central and northern regions of Germany, Nicholas
was called "Santa Claus", in Britain he was called "Christmas
Father", and later called "Santa Claus" by Dutch immigrants in
the United States.
