Have archaeologists discovered the tomb of Santa Claus?

from The Daily Article · host The Denison Forum

Article DescriptionArchaeologists 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.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
