Saint Nicholas looks four very different ways in Demre, formerly Myra, where he served as bishop and lived most of his life. Three prominent statues offer competing Nicholas images, showing him as Father Christmas, an Orthodox bishop, or like the Western Santa Claus. Differing ideologies are behind these alternate visions of the saint who has become a nearly universal gift-giver. For some he is a benevolent figure, caring for children. For others, he is first and foremost, one of the most important saints of the church. Still others see him simply as a jolly, secular and commercial symbol for holiday cheer.

How to picture St. Nicholas is a particular challenge in modern-day Turkey—a country that is 99.8% Muslim,* yet officially a secular state. Tour guides say many come to find the historic and religious Christian saint. Others want to understand the cultural and historic roots of America's popular Santa Claus. Some just believe the red-suited Santa has simply replaced earlier understandings and images.

The first public statue of St. Nicholas is a genial Father Christmas who stands in the garden of the Church of St. Nicholas. The large bronze benevolent figure wears a hooded robe, carries a gift bag over his shoulder, and is surrounded by three children. For almost twenty years, from 1981 until 2000, this image was the only Demre St. Nicholas..............
