Cumberland County Historical Society: Holiday Traditions:
What does Santa have in common with Ancient Rome? More than you might think. As Roman Armies spread across the world, their rituals intermingled with local traditions and were transformed. Germanic groups in America adapted their traditions to a new environment and constructed the Belsnickel. In time, through the work of Pennsylvania German artist Thomas Nast, the Belsnickel would be reborn as America’s most beloved gift giver, Santa Claus.
