The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Greek bishop and gift giver of Myra, the British figure of Father Christmas, the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, himself based on Saint Nicholas, the German figure of the Christkind, and the holidays of Twelfth Night and Epiphany and their associated figures of the Three Kings, based on the gift giving Magi of the Nativity) and Befana.
