Whereas the importance of relics and the business associated with pilgrims and patron saints caused the remains of most saints to be spread over several churches in several countries, St Nicholas is unique in that most of his bones have been preserved in one spot: his grave crypt in Bari. In the summer of 2005, the report of his remains measurements was sent to a forensic laboratory in England. The review of the data revealed that the historical St Nicholas was barely five feet in height (while not exactly small, still shorter than average, even for his time) and had a broken nose. The photo above is of a forensic reconstruction of St Nicholas’ face based upon his skull x-rays and measurements.
A legend tells how a terrible famine struck the island of Myra. Since St. Nick is the patron saint of sailors, his exploits are explained when a malicious butcher lured three little children into his house on Myra, and killed and slaughtered them and put their remains in a barrel to cure, planning to sell them off as ham. Saint Nicholas, visiting the region to care for the hungry, not only saw through the butcher’s horrific crime but also managed to resurrect the three boys from the barrel.
He had a reputation for secret gift-giving

Below find a Russian Orthodox depiction of St Nicholas, in his true COLOURS... St Nicolas alive:
St Nicolas funeral:
Now you see why Santa Claus (Saint Niclaus/Nicolas) is so faaakkkkeee? He is nothing like the real Saint Nicolas Read: Some elements of this part of the Saint Nicholas tradition (i.e. St Nicholas as a gift-giver) can be traced back to the Germanic god Wodan (Odin). The appearance of modern Santa Claus (St Nicholas) is similar to some portrayals of this god..Odin.
