      Is Santa Saint Nicholas of Myra? Because where I live, Nikolaus and Santa are two different entities. One has a bishop’s rod and hands out candy at December 6th, the other drinks coca cola, rides a sleigh and hands out presents at Christmas.

      Allegedly struck a guy over an argument about the hierarchy of the godhead. Although this is recognized as apocryphal, not showing up in accounts until hagiographies hundreds of years later.

      I think the resurrection thing is probably true, though.
