Hoy 6 de diciembre, varios pa\u00edses de Europa de tradici\u00f3n cat\u00f3lica u ortodoxa celebran una de las fiestas familiares por excelencia: San Nicol\u00e1s. Esta tradici\u00f3n, casi desconocida en el continente Americano, no es nada m\u00e1s ni nada menos que al origen del famoso personaje de pap\u00e1 Noel, tan omnipresente en la cultura popular. Lamentablemente esta figura de Pap\u00e1 Noel se ha desvinculado totalmente de su origen cristiano, e incluso en muchos hogares descristianizados suplanta a la figura del ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas cuya venida al mundo deber\u00eda ser celebrada en Navidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No todos saben que se trata de un personaje hist\u00f3rico. Su origen es: San Nicol\u00e1s de Bari, obispo de Mira (actual Turqu\u00eda). Los hechos de su vida mezclan historia y leyendas. Vivi\u00f3 alrededor del a\u00f1o 300. Fue torturado por motivo de la Fe en la persecuci\u00f3n de cristianos del a\u00f1o 310. Particip\u00f3 en el Concilio de Nicea en 325 donde luch\u00f3 contra el arrianismo. Cuando falleci\u00f3 dej\u00f3 toda su importante herencia a los pobres, de donde proviene su reputaci\u00f3n asociada a la generosidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Una de las leyendas vinculada a la figura de San Nicol\u00e1s es la historia de un padre viudo teniendo 3 hijas. El hombre era tan pobre que pensaba entregar a sus hijas a la prostituci\u00f3n. San Nicol\u00e1s se enter\u00f3, quiso ayudar a la familia sin que se sepa que era \u00e9l. As\u00ed que durante la noche de Navidad, lanz\u00f3 secretamente 3 bolsas llenas de oro por la ventana de la casa de esta familia. Pero alguien lo vio y la historia corri\u00f3 por toda la ciudad. De all\u00ed viene el tema de los regalos que San Nicol\u00e1s, luego Pap\u00e1 Noel, trae en Navidad (o el 6 o el 19 de diciembre en los pa\u00edses donde se sigue celebrando como San Nicol\u00e1s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahora \u00bfc\u00f3mo esta figura cristiana se transform\u00f3 en el Pap\u00e1 Noel Bonach\u00f3n de la sociedad de consumo<\/strong>? Numerosas leyendas germ\u00e1nicas paganas de elfos y duendes entregadores de regalos se mezclaron con la figura tradicional de San Nicol\u00e1s en el siglo XVIII. En Am\u00e9rica en el siglo XVIII,\u00a0 empez\u00f3 su influencia desde la Nueva-\u00c1msterdam, rebautizada Nueva York por los ingleses. En el siglo XIX, se populariz\u00f3 con el nombre de Santa Claus<\/em> (derivado de Sankt Niklaus), tra\u00eddo por migrantes protestantes holandeses principalmente, mezclado con el folklore n\u00f3rdico-germ\u00e1nico de los elfos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En este mismo siglo, el caricaturista Thomas Nast elabor\u00f3 las caricaturas del personaje en un peri\u00f3dico Neoyorkino durante treinta a\u00f1os, dando al personaje las principales caracter\u00edsticas que tiene ahora en el imaginario popular: gordito, con capa, barba blanca,\u2026 Es el que, en 1885, establece la \u201cresidencia oficial\u201d de Santa Claus<\/em> en el Polo Norte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En el siglo XX, asistimos a la recuperaci\u00f3n mercantil de este personaje folkl\u00f3rico. Muchos creen que la compa\u00f1\u00eda Coca Cola lo invent\u00f3. Como ya hemos se\u00f1alado era ya existente, pero esta compa\u00f1\u00eda hizo una exitosa compa\u00f1a comercial mundial con el personaje, terminando de popularizarlo. Este personaje publicitario lleg\u00f3 incluso a pa\u00edses europeos donde no exist\u00eda la tradici\u00f3n de San Nicol\u00e1s y hasta pa\u00edses tan remotos como China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actualmente esta cristiana tradici\u00f3n, basada en un personaje hist\u00f3rico y c\u00e9lebre por su generosidad con los m\u00e1s necesitados e intercambiar regalos en familia, se ha vuelto un instrumento de venta mundial, casi totalmente paganizado. Ser\u00eda bueno compartir la verdadera historia con nuestros ni\u00f1os y hablarle de la figura de este venerable cristiano, de su ejemplo compartir con los m\u00e1s necesitados, del correcto uso de la abundancia de su fortuna para el bien de los dem\u00e1s. En una palabra: vivir la caridad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La cultura moderna y post-moderna tiende a transformar tradiciones de la sociedad occidental cristiana en algo m\u00e1s acorde a sus propios \u201cvalores\u201d, lo cual requiere siempre mantenernos alerta de este peligro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
