'The fact that we have found a sarcophagus near the church, which is thought to house his tomb, may indicate that this is the sacred area we have been searching for,' said Associate Professor Ebru Fatma Findik from Hatay Mustafa Kemal University.
'Currently, we can see the lid part of the sarcophagus and we have uncovered a small part of its trough. In the future, we will dig deeper and reveal it completely,' Fındık stated.
Historical records have shown that shortly after, the Church of Saint Nicholas was built on top of the foundation to protect the saint's tomb.
The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick's Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas, which is Dutch for Saint Nicholas.
