Another Oxford University explore has uncovered that bones since quite a while ago accepted to have a place with St. Nicholas after whom the iconography of Santa Claus is based, do in certainty date from the privilege verifiable period. In the sixteenth century stories about St Nicholas wound up noticeably prominent, and the legend of Father Christmas was conceived.
St Nicholas is thought to have lived in Myra, Asia Minor, which is presently cutting edge Turkey. As per the legends he was a rich man who was celebrated for his liberality. It is trusted that St. Nicholaus has aggrieved by the Emperor Diocletian and passed on in jail. A gathering of Italian traders took away his remaining parts and transported it to Bari.

Throughout the years, relic parts have been procured by various places of worship everywhere throughout the world. Since the relics have gone over the world, there have been inquiries regarding if the relics have a place with a similar individual.

We can do this utilizing antiquated palaeogenomics, or DNA testing. It is energizing to believe that these relics, which date from such an old time, could in actuality be bona fide."
The majority of the bones accepted to be from St Nicholas are as yet safeguarded in Bari, with some in the Chiesa di San Nicolo al Lido in Venice.
