why does santa wear red
Because people think red is more festive and is a traditional holiday costume, Santa Claus wears red clothes. Santa Claus originally referred to Nicholas, the bishop of Asia Minor in the 4th century AD, who was famous for his amiability and generosity.
By the 6th century, the East honored him as St. Nicholas. Since the folk legends about Nicholas are related to children and gifts, since then, Santa Claus has become the image of a kind old man who specially gives gifts to children at Christmas.
In the 18th century, through literature and painting, Santa Claus gradually became the image of an old man with a white beard and white eyebrows in a red coat.
