In the Netherlands, the Christmas version of Santa is Sinterklaas, a stately and noble man with white hair and a long, full beard. On his head he wears a red bishop's hat, adorned with a golden cross and golden trimmings. He wears a long red cape over a traditional white bishop's robe and a red stole, in one hand he holds a gold ceremonial shepherd's staff with a fancy curled top, his other hand is raised to bless the children. The background is a light sketch of The Church of Our Lady in Amsterdam, Willem Haenraets,
A digital painting depicts Saint Nicholas, also known in the Netherlands as Sinterklaas, in a winter setting. The figure, dressed in traditional red and white bishop's robes and a matching miter hat with a gold cross, stands prominently in the foreground. He has a long, flowing white beard and mustache, and carries a crozier staff, similar to that used by other officials in the catholic and related orders.
