Yes, of course, Saint Nicholas also known as Saint Nicholas of Myra and St. Nicholas of Bari is a 4th century bishop from Asia Minor (modern Turkey) who was known for his generosity. His shrine was one of the great pilgrimage sites of the Middle Ages. To this day, St. Nicholas' Day is celebrated in Europe. His bones, currently enshrined at Bari in Apulia, Italy exude a miraculous fluid that examinations have shown is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen with an extremely low content of bacteria. The saint's bones have given off this miraculous fluid continuously for centuries and still do today.
