According to Turkiye Today, work at the St. Nicholas Church in Demre, Antalya, has been ongoing since 1989 in the area where the discovery was made. The apparent grave of Saint Nicholas himself was only recently found, and as of Dec. 6, work was still underway to fully uncover it. Earlier this month, only the lid had been fully unearthed.
