Turkish archaeologists claim to have discovered a tomb containing the remains of Saint Nicholas. Of course, they are talking about a Catholic bishop who lived at the turn of the 3rd and 4th centuries in the ancient city of Myra. To this day, two Italian cities boast the remains of the famous bishop.

Tureccy archeolodzy twierdzą, że odkryli grób, w którym znajdują się szczątki świętego Mikołaja. Chodzi oczywiście o katolickiego biskupa żyjącego na przełomie III i IV wieku w starożytnym mieście Mira. Do tej pory posiadaniem szczątków słynnego biskupa szczycą się dwa włoskie miasta.

An extraordinary discovery in Turkey. The grave of Saint Nicholas has been found

Galerie Art Praha via Wikimedia St. Nicholas, by Jaroslav Čermák (1831-1878). The location of St. Nicholas’ mortal remains is already a matter of some dispute, and the discovery of the additional sarcophagus, depending on what it contains, will likely muddy things further.

Coffin of St. Nicholas may have been found — but there’s a catch

Let’s start out with an admission: Yes, of course we know Santa Claus is real. He wears a red suit and visits all the good boys and girls (not you naughty ones) once a year. He has a slew of small helpers and a stall of dope reindeer at his home on the North Pole, and duh, he’s immortal and very much alive and well. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. However, there was a devoted Christian bishop named Nicholas who lived in the 4th century and …

Archaeologists May Have Found Jolly Old St. Nick’s Final Resting Place — and It’s Not at the North Pole

Turkish archaeologists claim to have found a sarcophagus containing the remains of Saint Nicholas, the same one whom we honor on December 6 by giving gifts more than 1,600 years after his death. This discovery may be called controversial by some, because Catholics and Orthodox believers are convinced that the saint's remains are buried in Bari, Italy.

Tureccy archeolodzy twierdzą, że odnaleźli sarkofag zawierający szczątki świętego Mikołaja, tego samego, którego ponad 1600 lat po jego śmierci czcimy 6 grudnia, wręczając sobie prezenty. To odkrycie niektórzy mogą nazwać kontrowersyjnym, ponieważ katolicy i wierni obrządku prawosławnego są przekonani, że szczątki świętego są pochowane we włoskim Bari.
