Outside the Nativity story, there is no better sentiment on Christmas than the answer Francis Pharcellus Church wrote in the New York Sun on September 21, 1897 in answer to the question from 8-year old reader Virginia O’Hanlon.
Click on the headline above to see Church’s answer on our web site: Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus.
A copy of the Sun nameplate, the original letter from Virginia, a photo of Church and the clipping from the Sun are included. Merry Christmas
