As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many
old ones were reworked. The legend oI Santa Claus, Ior example, had origins in Europe
and was brought by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18
th
century. Traditionally,
Santa Claus Irom the Dutch Sinter Klaas was depicted as a tall, digniIied, religious
Iigure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was
1
S phach
usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elI who punished disobedient children. In North
America he eventually developed into a Iat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the
religious attributes oI Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character oI Black Peter.
Santa`s transIormation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the
poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his
daughter. The poem introduced many Americans to the story oI a kindly saint who Ilew
over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings oI Santa Claus by
American illustrator Thomas Nast Iurther strengthened the legend during the second halI
oI the 19
th
century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa
produced and delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19
th
century he had become
such a prominent Iigure oI American Iolklore that in 1897, when Virginia O`Hanlon
wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking iI Santa was real, she received a direct
answer: 'Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

Tourists Irom all over the world come to look at the stations lined with granite and
marble and decorated with mosaics and chandeliers. Some oI the names have changed:
Ior example, Marx Prospekt has turned (3) Hunter`s Row. Some Muscovites Iind it
hard to take (4) the changes, but they are justly proud oI their underground and want

the system. The plan came (6) , and so a new line and new stations will be built.
The Moscow metro stands (7) among its international competitors Ior being almost
