This news 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 per cent of
his body has tattoos.
Anyone doubting Martins' commitment(奉献)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(奉献).
