This passage is about a man. He is from Brazil and he is old. It's not
quite the classic Santa looks. He has snow-white hair and a beard. When it is
Christmas, he plays Santa Claus. He sits in a shopping centre. And thousands of
young Brazilian boys and girls will be queuing up to see this guy for
Christmas. They talk to him about Christmas presents. Brazilian artist Vitor
Martins has been a shopping mall Santa in Sao Paulo for 16 years.
There is something interesting about the man. He has many pictures made
out of ink on his body. Ninety-four percent of his body has tattoos.
Anyone doubting Martins' commitment (献身) to playing Santa has to do nothing more
than having a quick look at the artwork which covers his skin.
From Jesus to Jingle Bells, there's no shortage of Christmas-themed
pictures made out of ink on his body to show his dedication (献身精神).
