Article Description
Archaeologists may have found the original sarcophagus of Nicholas of Myra, the historic gift-giving figure on whom the Santa Claus tradition is based. St. Nicholas could not have imagined that he would become the roly-poly figure we call Santa Claus today, but he is part of one of many previously holy celebrations that have since fallen to secular holidays. Unlike the 4th-century saint, the Christ of Christmas is today all he has ever been and does all he has ever done.
