The Secret Truth About Santa

By Samuel St Nicholas

There are historical truths about the St. Nicholas family which are the root foundations to the myths and legends surrounding St. Nicholas and Santa Claus. In these pages I have attempted to explain as much as I can about my immediate family, clan, the Antares tribe, and how we have worked for the betterment of humanity for over 1,300 years. I have left our enclave to live, work, and study in the world and one day will return home to continue our Christmas traditions. I was given special permission by the Antares Tribal Council to share this information so people could know the secret truths about our family and give a glimpse into the work we do in the name of Santa. Myths and legends surround our family and tribe, but they stem from our good deeds throughout the ages, and I hope that those who read this may come to understand and share some of the truths behind the stories, and learn in the process what the true meaning of Christmas means for us and why we have been doing what we do, and living as we live, for hundreds of years.

Santa is known by many names throughtout the world, such as Kris Kringle, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, Papa Noel, the names go on and on in different regions of the world, We all come from the Antares tribe west of the Black Sea over 1,300 years ago. I have left to explore the world, as many of us do, and am working to make the world a better place. I approached the Antares Tribal Council and brought my concern that children and many adults have lost the sense of wonder about and spirit of Christmas, and was allowed to share this explaination about who it is that we are and what we do to. I am limited in just how much I can explain because some things must remain secret and we must remain hidden, but these are some of the secrets and hidden truths about who we are, what we do, and what our role in history has been.

Foreword

I am a member of the clan of St. Nicholas, of the Anterian tribe, a direct descendant of St. Nicholas and his son, Cynwrig. I was born and raised in one of several secret underground enclaves, or villages, located throughout the world. My unique community lives in secret above the arctic circle. I have decided to take some time for myself, a sabbatical, to travel, attend college, and see the world. I currently work with a few non-profit charities, and am using an assumed name and identity. I have traveled to India, parts of Africa and Europe, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia, and many parts of North America. I have an very interesting story to tell, one which is hard to believe, but I assure you is true. Here is my story, and the story of my family, clan, and tribe, as much of it I can safely tell.

There is no risk in revealing these secrets which I now share with you, mostly because most people will write it off as impossible fiction. I would love to share proof of my story, and my special life, with you, but it was explained to me, and I truly see, that if proof was ever revealed that the magic and the mystery of Santa would be gone, and my family would be relentlessly sought after and sought out, and we would no longer be able to do the special things we do. I am speaking about the story of St. Nicholas, or Santa, or Father Christmas, or Sinterklaas.... whatever the myth or name, this is a candid glimpse into the St. Nicholas family, clan, and the Antares tribe.

The Story of St. Nicholas

The story of who you know today as Santa started long, long ago, back in the 3rd century in Asia Minor, in the land known today as Turkey. There once lived a man named Nicholas, who was born in the year 270 AD in Patara, a village in Lycia, in the Byzantine Empire. His parents, Theophanes and Nonna, were devout Christians who prayed for years and years to God for a child. After they had grown old, their wish was finally granted and they had a son, and named him Nicholas.

Nicholas was named in honor of the his uncle, who was a priest, and he was raised with a strong belief in God. This was back in a time when people were often persecuted for their faith or belief in God when being Christian was illegal in the Roman Empire. Nicholas was born into a family that was well off, not too wealthy, yet rich enough that they managed to be able to help those less fortunate than themselves, and they were known as generous and compassionate family, with strong faith and religious convictions

Nicholas grew up to be not only a very devout and caring person, but also the type of person known as a confessor, which meant that he would not deny his faith or religion, and was willing to suffer or be imprisoned for his beliefs. Eventually, around 300 AD under Diocletian, the Roman Emperor of the time, he was imprisoned. In 312 AD, Constantine came to power and he openly acknowledged Christian faith and beliefs, and finally made it legal to be Christian. Constantine had realized that there were many Christians even within the ranks of his own armies, so he thought it wise to decriminalize Christianity and use religion to his advantage. He freed Nicholas after 12 years of prison and torture. With Constantine's acceptance of Christianity, persecution of Christians ended. While initially Constantine decriminalized the Christian faith for political gains and power and control, later in his life Constantine himself converted to Christianity,

Most of this is well known, but what is not is that when Nicholas was freed that he met and fell in love with a Christian woman named Genowefa, who was from an offshoot branch of the Antares tribe, which was a mixed Dacian-Celtic tribe with some Neuri heritage. She was a descendent of Deceneus, who was diviner to an earlier tribal king named Burebista. Her tribe moved around a lot, like traveling merchants. Nicholas was weak from spending 12 years in prison, and after they met she
