The bell "Frost"

Santa Claus is the main fairy—tale character at the Russian New Year holiday, whose image finally took shape only by the beginning of the XX century. Santa Claus entered the literary tradition in 1840 in the fairy tale "Moroz Ivanovich". It describes Santa Claus for the first time: "good Frost Ivanovich" is a "gray—haired" old man who "shakes his head - frost falls from his hair"; he lives in an ice house, and sleeps on a feather bed of fluffy snow. As a character in the performance, he first appeared on Christmas Day in 1910. He lives in Veliky Ustyug. He rides three horses.

"On the windows, Santa Claus,
Scatter crystal roses
Easy visions,
Tricky gossip.
Enchant the hearts of people
The beauty of their ideas:
Let the eyes penetrate
In light patterns."

Maria Pozharova
