The figure of Santa Claus has evolved significantly from his origins as Saint Nicholas, a generous bishop martyred in 270 AD. His tradition of anonymous gift-giving was later shifted to Christmas Day by Martin Luther. The iconic modern image of Santa, complete with a red suit and white beard, was popularized by Coca-Cola's advertising campaigns in the 1930s.
