He is like Santa Claus.
AnswerSaint Nicholas, a bishop in Asia Minor in the fourth century, whose relics are enshrined at Bari in Apulia (Italy), was a very short man. His bones, which are famous for giving off a miraculous fluid (for centuries) are the bones of a man who stood maybe four feet or so. Asia Minor is around where modern Turkey is, so I imagine he looked not unlike the people of Turkey.
