"The remains of St Nicholas have been held in the Basilica di San Nicola, Bari, Southern Puglia, since 1087, where they are buried in a crypt beneath a marble alter.

Over the years relic fragments have been acquired by various churches around the world, calling into question how the bones can all be from the same person.

I know Santa is real, I got presents from him just a few days ago.

As the aforementioned documentary points out – that is a different story…

Click bait title – Saint Nicholas is not exactly equivalent to Santa Claus.
