MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄HOPE YOU HAD WONDERFUL DAY！

The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 Anno.Domini. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled to the countryside helping the poor and sick. One of the best-known St. Nicholas stories is the time he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married.

Over the course of many years, Nicholas’s popularity spread and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day“Saint Nicolas Day”is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, December 6. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland.

The name Santa Claus evolved from his Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas).

Scuba divers can plunge to brand new depths without setting foot in the ocean thanks to a multi-million dollar facility that's just opened in Poland.

With a depth of over 45 meters (around 148 feet), Deepspot is claimed to be the world's deepest swimming pool, containing 8,000 cubic meters of water--more than 20 times the amount as a 25-meter pool.

Intended as a training and practice site for divers of all levels, it cost an estimated $10.6 million to bring to life and the construction process took over two years.

The impressive structure is fitted with a simulated "blue hole" running down to its deepest point, and even contains a small shipwreck, as well as artificial underwater caves and Mayan ruins for divers to explore.

There's also an underwater tunnel for spectators, while a number of onsite hotel "rooms with a view" at a depth of five meters will be available from December 14.

Deepspot was permitted to open despite Poland's strict Covid-19 rules, as it's a training center that provides courses rather than a standard swimming pool.

While it's primarily aimed at scuba divers, director Michal Braszczynski told AFP that the facility may also be used as a training center for fire fighters and the (armed forces).

However, Deepspot has taken the title, albeit not for very long.The 50-meter deep Blue Abyss, currently under construction in Colchester, England will claim this honor once it launches.The state-of-the-art facility, designed by architect Robin Partington, was scheduled to open this year, but this has been pushed back to late 2022 /early 2023 due to the pandemic.

If music be the food of love, play on--especially when coronavirus restrictions leave you with little other option.

Prevented from visiting his sick wife in hospital, 81-year-old Stefano Bozzini decided to take to the street outside to serenade her on his accordion.The touching moment was captured on film and has since gone viral.

He opened with "Spanish Eyes" by Engelbert Humperdinck, before playing a selection of his wife's favorites.Wearing a red sweater, navy pants, a feathered hat and a mask, Bozzini played enthusiastically,while his wife and two others -- all in face coverings -- watched from above.

Bozzini can be seen tapping his foot as he plays, then waves to his wife at the end of the performance.

A man can be heard speaking Italian in the background, saying "bravo" and "how beautiful, this man is serenading his wife who is in the hospital."

The hospital does not treat patients with Covid-19, but visitors are not allowed to enter the building because of restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic.

The couple were married in 1973. The uplifting tale has gone viral on social media, with Bozzini's daughter writing on Facebook: "That is my daddy….the one and only."
