Archaeologists may have found Saint Nicholas' tomb beneath Turkish church

He was buried there, but his bones were long believed to have been taken to the southern Italian town of Bari.

Archaeologists believe they may have discovered the remains of Saint Nicholas, from whom the legend of Santa Claus emerged, beneath a church at his birthplace in southern Turkey.

St Nicholas was born and served as a bishop of what is now the Turkish Mediterranean town of Demre, near Antalya, in the fourth century.
