Description: This Listing is for ONE NEW Block of 4 Christmas Old World Santa Claus 34¢ Stamps from 2001.Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-Free and Pet-Free Environment. On October 10, 2001, the U.S. Postal Service issued these Old World Santa Claus 34¢ self-adhesive stamps in Santa Claus, IN. The four different images of this familiar holiday character are from chromolithographs that date from the 1880s to 1920. The story of Santa Claus began with St. Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop in Asia Minor, who was considered a generous gift giver and protector of children, and his reputation flourished throughout Europe. When the Dutch landed in the New World, they named St. Nicholas - Sinterklaas in Dutch - as their patron saint. In America, the Dutch legend of Sinterklaas merged with the English tradition of Father Christmas, creating the character that we know today as Santa Claus.
