Παραδείγματα από το σώμα κειμένου για Saint Nicholas
1. Santa Claus –– derived from the Dutch Sinter Klaas and the German Saint Nicholas –– assumed the persona of a jolly dispenser of gifts and pilot of a reindeer–drawn sleigh through such works as the 1823 poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" and an 1863 Harper‘s Weekly portrait by the illustrator Thomas Nast.
2. Or at least they will if Neil Ashworth, a sort of Saint Nicholas for the 21st century, has done his job right.
3. Putin and Prodi Seal Power and Plane Deals Combined Reports Vladimir Rodionov / Itar–Tass Putin and Prodi sharing a lighter moment during talks in the Italian resort of Bari, where the president also visited a church dedicated to Saint Nicholas.
4. During his stay in Bari, Putin also visited a church in the city that is reputed to hold the remains of Saint Nicholas, a fourth–century bishop of Asia Minor revered by both the Western and Orthodox churches, and signed a visitors‘ book.
5. But its heartening to know that even professional Santas fret about the devaluation of their brand from a hero of European folklore (the original Saint Nicholas was a Turkish bishop) to a cheap salesman a transformation that perhaps began when Coca–Cola hired the ad–genuis Haddon Sundblom to create a red–and–white liveried Claus to sell more soft drinks.
