∙ 13y agoSaint Nicholas is believed to have died, and been buried, in the city of Myra, Turkey. He was a bishop there. In the year 1087 sailors from Bari, Italy, stole the relics from the monks at Myra and carried them off to Bari where they remain today. The remains arrived on 9 May 1087. There are numerous variations of this account. In some versions those taking the relics are characterized as thieves or pirates, in others they are said to have taken them in response to a vision wherein Saint Nicholas himself appeared and commanded that his relics be moved in order to preserve them from the impending Muslim conquest.
