First in Christmas Visitors Series 4 9/16" H Artist: Anita Marra Rogers - Every Christmas, around the world, children look forward to the arrival of a very special visitor. Although the visitor varies in appearance according to local legend, each gif-bringer personifies the love and spirit of giving that are at the hear of our holiday season. St. Nicholas, a bishop in Asia Minor in the 4th century, was well-known and loved for his kindness and great love for children. He is the basis for the Santa Claus we know today, and is the first Christmas visitor to be feature in this series. The series celebrates the legend of a different gift-bringer each year.
