While Santa Claus comes from America, and St. Nicholas comes from Germany, the Julenisse comes from the Norwegian forest–just behind the family barn. There are entire communities of these "little people" (nisse), who come in all shapes and sizes, but the Christmas Julenisse is a kind of cross between Father Christmas and an ordinary nisse. He has a red stocking cap, a long white beard, a Norwegian sweater, and a heavy fur coat. Old timers believed their home’s resident nisse was the original set

Simply put, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is one of the most magnificent, influential, historic, and revered buildings on Earth. For centuries, it served as the greatest church in Christendom.

And when it was secularized in the 20th cent
