Bury Christmas

Saint Nick's tomb may have been found:
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. The excavation is led by Hatay Mustafa Kemal University associate professor Ebru Fatma Findik and backed by Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The sarcophagus itself is made of local limestone quarried from somewhere in the surrounding area. Buried nearly two meters under the surface, a primary problem faced by archaeologists is how to fully uncover the grave while preserving any information carved into the surface.
No word on whether he had his reindeer with him...
