Today I’m going to teach you about the origins of this iconic character. My Speech will be split up into three main parts; the legend of Saint Nicholas, how he came to the united states and how a poem by Clement Moore helped illi the modern image of santa clause. The legend of Santa Clause can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named Saint Nicholas, who was believed to be born sometime around 280 A.D in Patara, near Myra which is in modern day Turkey.
