Long lost remains of Santa Claus thought to be discovered in TurkeyNewly discovered shrine lies under ancient floor, which must be painstakingly removed, but some experts believe it could be the final resting place of Saint NicholasArchaeologists believe they have found the ancient remains of Saint Nicholas – better known to children as Father Christmas. Geophysical surveys carried out by researchers on the St Nicholas church in the southern Antalya region of Turkey led them to think an untouched tomb is hidden underneath the floor, according to reports. It was traditionally believed the remains of St Nicholas – said to have miraculous powers – were exhumed and taken to Bari, southern Italy, by Christian merchants in 1087, where they are held in the Basilica di San Nicola. But the Turkish researchers, having analysed new documents, believe the merchants removed the wrong remains from the church. The saint was renowned for his discreet generosity and gift giving, which led to the rise of the myth of Father Christmas. He was known as Sinterklaas by the mediaeval Dutch, and his feast day came on the 6 December.It is believed the seasonal figure of Santa Claus originated from Dutch immigrants to the US venerating Sinterklaas.
